I've graduated to real quilt shops

In the year or so I've been quilting I've been going to chain stores to get my fabric. But I finally made a trip to some local quilting stores and I don't think I'm every going back to a chain store again.
I went to Quilts by the Oz and the Quilt Basket. They’re both on Avenue of the Cities in Moline and East Moline respectively. The fabric selection alone is practically overwhelming. There are hundreds of bolts of beautiful fabric that I could tell just by touching them were much a better quality than what I’ve been working with. I was also amazed by the selection of prints and colors to chose from. I’ve been disappointed many times as I went to the store to pick out fabric for baby quilts, but found myself imagining all the different projects I could make with the adorable children’s fabrics available at the shops. I even picked up fabric of fish hooks that I’m going to use to make a lap quilt for my grandpa who goes fishing every chance he gets. I really had to restrain myself to only buy fabric for the lap quilt, a table runner and a few more Illini-themed projects. Pardon the pun, but I’m hooked.
