Thanks, debbie, I LOVE my Big Lots, too. And all Big Lots aren't the same either. I can spend hours in there. I just purchased a floor lamp like the Ott lamps and I love it. $30 compared to $100!!
I also bought the canvas tote you're talking about. And I got lucky at Tuesday Morning's and found another one with more structure for my sewing table...$5.00!!
I guess you could say I'm a 5 and dime girl!! LOL

So cool that you tested them!! The last time I went to Big Lots they had about 6 fat quarters :( and none were colors I really wanted. Unfortunately I don't have a Big Lots in town, and have to travel to the next town over. So I don't go too often. However, the next time I go I will be sure to stop in and check for the fat quarters. THANKS!!

I bought 2 fq's from them. They felt wonderful.
I brought them home, took off tags, put two Moda fq's in with them and washed them together. All four came out nicely, If I did not know the fabrics myself, I don't think I could have told the difference. With the cost of fabrics rising for now, I figured, cost is important now too. The next test is to use them with other fabric I have and then see again. Maybe I should have been a fabric tester in my real life. ROFL. HUGS
I know there have been posts on here so don't tell me to go read, I wanted to share what I discovered. I always look at them when I go to Big Lots and don't buy. Never sure. Well now I am and the next trip I will buy more. They usually only have maybe around 50 or so. I love the colors too.
So , to each his own. Just wanted to throw in my two cents worth. Inquiring minds need to know. LOL. Now I do.
Hope this thread stays positive too.

I havent been to big lots in several years. Although I am one of the lucky ones, if I go north 45 miles which we do to take my husband to his VA appointments and if we go south 25 miles or so there is a Big Lots there too. So next time we go to town if I remember I will have to check them out.
