I've been once and like it because they carry more contemporary fabric then what I have seen at other places.

I know PPQ has a TON of fabric (def my fav shop in Houston area) PPQ is great, you can find anything there. They have it all. But I wouldn't have guessed that much for Quilters Cottage. It's a good shop too, but doesn't seem like it has THAT much fabric ... 6000 bolts?
Quilters Emporium is another great shop in Stafford, lots of fabric :)

Mary Jo's is big but is not all quilting fabric, lots of other sewing & specialty fabrics

Hancock's of Paducah,KY is much larger

Not sure if you've been to QC since they expanded but now they have 3 cottages stuffed with fabric etc.

It's been a few months, I saw they had a new class area in the newest bldg I think, but little fabric in there then ... sounds like I need to make a visit soon :)

I don't know anything about the largest quilt shops anywhere, but one tradition I have anytime I go on vacation (or out of town with my husband for his work) is to find a locally owned quilt shop in that town and buy something from there. All I have locally is Hobby Lobby and Joann's, and I know everything they have. So it's nice to find local shops in different towns and take home a "souvenir" from my trip.
