Joann's has half price on the Kona cottons
Joann's has half price on the Kona cottons ($4.50/yd). Free shipping on $75 and $2.99 flat rate shipping otherwise. It's today only. http://www.joann.com/fabric/quilting...ent=HTML#sz=90
Almost tempting, but not after my quilt store going out of business binge ;-).

Please remember, if it is NOT on a original RK cardboard bolt, you are buying second quality fabrics. Fabric Shack has 1st quality Kona cotton for $5.49 a yard and you get to choose for 303 colors plus half off priority shipping. You might what to check into Fabric.com website. They were selling 3 yards below $5.00 a yard.
Many fabric companies sell the fabric that does not match their quality standards along with end lots to jobbers:

I use to shop the Fashion district in the 90s which included Michael Levine and a Michael's. Got a parking ticket once so I found other places to shop. Parking is limited.

This isn't true for Kona's at least. Kaufman has gone to great lengths to try and stop this myth. The Kona at Joann's IS the same as the Kona at quilt shops. Let me find a link to a thread where Robert Kaufman posted directly here.
