Although recently I did see some fat quarter packs on sale at JoAnne's that looked AND felt just like Walmart's fabric--If I could've ironed them at the store, I bet they'd smell different too. ;-)

Wow--other than the cheap fat quarters, I haven't seen any Walmart like fabric at the JoAnne near me yet, but who know's what's coming. Although, the Walmart near me quit selling fabric, which even though it's not my first choice, it's a great back up.

I've always felt that Walmart material was not as good as JoAnn's - thin, smells funny, etc. And, I also noticed that some of JoAnn's fat quarters are getting to be more like Walmarts material. It's been a while since I've looked at Walmarts material though. I could be wrong.
