$1.00/yrd at Walmart
#32
I've not bought fabric at Walmart or Joanns because I'm afraid after all the work going into a quilt something horrible will happen to the fabric over time - like it will disintegrate or something!

Not sure where mom got the fabric. but I do know it was not from a quilt shop, I was about 16 I think.so about 30 yrs ago give or take. She and I made a quilt, no rotary cutter or mat back then. I did all the cutting mom did the sewing. Im sure the fabric was purchased at either Ben Franklins or TG&Y maybe Wal mart. Im going with TG&Y cause she worked there at that time I think. Anyway, my mother can make a penny squeal so I am sure she didnt pay alot for this fabric. That twin quilt is still going strong. I used it as a teen my daughters and nieces and nephew has used it and now my grand kids use it when they stay and G Grandma's.

I washed all the fabric I got at WM and there was little fraying and the material held together extremely well. Needless to say but I am very happy with it. You just have to know what to look for when making purchases. There was some 1.00 fabric that I wouldn't buy cause I know it would end up in the trash.

It seems like it would make money for the store with all the quilters/sewing crafted people out there.I wonder what the reason is?
