Only issue I have run into is some of the fabrics vary by weight, so when you are using several different fabrics in a quilt you have to be a little careful since some can be lightweight and others medium weight, even though they are all cotton.

Not even the same color. Example: I ordered a fabric that I thought had a light tan background with purple flowers and green leaves. When it arrived, the background was actually a light green and the leaves were more khaki and brown rather than green. So if you are ordering a specific color, it might not be what you think.

they also have free shipping online if you order more than $50 and keepsake doesnt unless theyre haveing a special or something. keepsake also has more notions i think than ct but theyre both great places and seem to have great customer service from my point of veiw.

KQ sells only LQS quality fabrics...Kaufman, Hoffman, Moda, etc. It's not possible that their scrap bags are of a lesser quality because they do not have any 'lesser quality' fabrics available.
