I have not been to the shop since it moved to Berry Hill. It is not a quilt shop per se. It carries high end fabric (silks, wool, fake-fur, linen blends, cottons, cotton-blends) for garment making as well as fabric that *can be used* for quilting. It also has a variety of decorative notions lace, trim, buttons, bridal tiaras etc and unique garment patterns.
Prices may be high for quilters. (There have been times when I've seen the same fabric in other quilt shops in the Nashville area for $2-$4 less /yard.) There is a remnants room where you can find some yardage and remainders. I've found some nice pieces for my quilt stash. Get on its mailing list for sale notifications. They offer deep discounts on the remnants twice a year.
By the way, there is a shop called the Children's Corner on Thompson Lane that is participating in the Row By Row. It's fairly close to The Textile Shop.

I lived in Nashville for 33 years. That store is nothing special. What I would recommend is Stitchers Garden (209 S Royal Oaks Blvd, Franklin, TN 37064) in Franklin, TN which is a lovely historic small town to stroll around in, as well. The store used to be in downtown Franklin, and now it out a ways, but it is worth a visit, I think. It's a really disorganized store containing more fabric per square inch than one would think possible. All quilting fabric. The lady who owns it knows where absolutely everything is, so if you're looking for something, there's a good bet it's there--she'll just need to find it for you.
