1930's Fabric Fat Quarter Swap

are Joann fabric's good enough quality to join? I don't have access to quilt shop fabric, but love reproduction prints, and sure would love to join!

I don't know much about Joann's as we don't have them in Canada, but I would say yes they will be fine. I just don't want any really thin, see-through fabrics.

I am collecting 30's prints to start a new quilt using them so this is great timing for me!

I don't think that Joann's quality or prints compare quite the same to quilt shop, most especially their fat quarters.

I think you are right @fancygraphics that JoAnns pre-cut Fat Quarters are not usually a good quality. However, I have been able to find some good quality fabrics at Joanns off the bolt, especially reproduction prints because they carry fabrics from Northcott, P & B Textiles, and Windham just as the quilt stores do. I would hate for someone to think they couldn't participate if they didn't have a quilt store near them. I think if you are careful with what fabrics you select and make sure they are a higher thread count (thicker) then it would be fine. That is fine with me anyway if someone gets me as a partner! :-)

I totally agree with you Ky, Joann's has some good quality fat quarters off the bolt. I should have specified that.

oops, too early, i meant to write fabrics off the bolt. I second all else you wrote as well.

I'm so excited!!! I found Rustic Yearnings, a quilt shop I can get to that had so many 1930's reproduction prints to choose from I had a hard time......fun time, but hard to choose. happy me!
