    Has anyone been the Los Angeles
    http://www.fashiondistrict.org/ for fabric?
    Is it worth the trip? I hear fabric is cheap but is it any good?

    havn't been to LA but have been to fasion district in NYC
    Not much for quilters. All glitz and glitter and silky
    Been some years but the quilt fabric I saw was Christmas big box quality and several seasons back and this seasons prices.

    My friend has been down there to the fashion/fabric district in LA & she said it was more apparel fabric- not much for quilters.
