I didn't know they carried them either. thanks for the info I will go tomorrow and check them out. Told myself I wasn't allowed to leave the house today until I get my income taxes prepared to take to the accountant. I have been procrastinating all day

I went today and they had them stuffed in the back behind some photo books. Only a hand full but some nice ones. I also picked up a couple of books for $3. each. I am going to have to add this to my list of places to shop frequently. I love looking for seasonal things there as well. Good selection usually.

Big Lots is one of my favorite places to shop, right up there with Tuesday Morning. I'm addicted to dollar FQs and have a great collection of them. I also like them from Hancock Fabrics and Walmart...but always check for that quality feel before I buy.

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 bought a pile of the Big Lots, FQ's. We have 3 stores near us. The tags on ours look like the ones they had a Handcocks. I bet there were more than 20 different colors. I love them. Also I got them all for 20 % off. With a coupon for Friends and Family Day. Haven't had a chance to use any yet. Happy they are good quality.

We close our eyes and feel the differences. It is so much fun.
