    Just wondering... what's your favorite brand of quilting fabric, and why?

    Is it the texture of the fabric, or the quality of the printing, or just the way their designs tend to look?

    (If you can't pick just ONE brand, it's okay to name a bunch of 'em!)

    I like pretty much all of them, but Northcott is my all time fav.

    I don't generally pay attention to manufacturer but I do like the Civil War repros by Windham.

    My youngest son seems to prefer Moda. I took him with me when I was buying Civil War fabric. He was trying to help by picking out fabric he liked and coincidentally, almost every bolt he picked was Moda.

    If I had to only pic a few, I'd say:

    Kaufman - fusions & batiks
    Hoffman - batiks
    Clothworks - Laurel Burch (the nicest fabric I've ever felt!), Sue Zipkin collections
