We got a WalMart ad today and it said.....drum roll, please.....fabric is back in 2,000 WalMart store (by popular demand!) Thank you, Walmart. I surely hope that at least one of the nearby Walmarts are included in the 2,000 stores. I have plenty of places to purchase fabric but sometimes my budget is more comfortable with WalMart prices.
I just finished the quilting on a gift baby quilt -- I love the colors in it! I shopped my own stash for the fabric, first, and then purchased one more piece for the front and a piece for the back. It is ready be trimmed, squared, and then I'll sew on the binding. Question: Has anyone used two different fabrics for binding? I'm thinking two pieces sewn together -- one color for one side and another color for the other. Think that will work? You quick answer would be greatly appreciated.

I have a friend who has several times done that...used two strips and sewn them together and one side of her quilt has one color of binding and a different color on the other side...and it turned out fine. I agree about Walmart. There are many times quilts are made that are not going to become heirlooms...they will be dragged around by little kids with dirty hands, etc....so why pay quilt shop prices for the fabric for that? I hope a Walmart near here gets fabric back in the stores, too.
