I bought some yesterday at my LQS that starts out dark on one side, then goes to very light on the other side...all in one piece of fabric..of course in the same tones..Its really pretty!

Like you, I've not been a batik fan; they can run the gamut from really hideous to really fabulous. There is an "Island" line I saw on-line at Hancock's of Paducah; most of them fall into the really fabulous category and have me drooling.
The fabric you bought yesterday sounds like a great find!

I ordered from them once last year. The quality is fine, but watch the prices. Less than 24 hrs after I had sent my order out in the mail, I found the exact same fabric on another site for $2.71 less per yard.

Thanks! I'll do it. It'll be quite a while yet because the non-quilting part of my life is intruding and will be for a while. On the other hand, I don't have all the fabrics I need for the Braid yet anyway.

The name of the shop is (Keepsake Quilting) :lol:
I am blessed to live only 15 minutes away, so I get to go often. This is a five star shop.
If you call the 1-800-865-9458 that is the distribution center, if you call 603-253-4026 you will talk to the woman who work in the shop, and who are quilters and know all about the product thay sell, and work with. If you have any questions; I would start there.

I shop at JoAnns a lot and here is a good rule of thumb - if they normally charge less than $8.50 or $9.00 don't think of using it for a quilt! Coupons are the way to save with them but your choices will be a bit limited.
Many of the online shops carry wonderful quality fabric and we will be happy to share our favorites.

Keepsake quilting fabrics you see at JoAnns is not, I repeat, NOT near the quality of what you find at the Shop. It is not the same thing. Consider Keepsake quilting catalog like your local Quilt Shop, not fabric store.
