I started this quilt about 8 years ago.    The only place to buy fabric near where I was living at the time was Walmart.  The selection was pretty limited and some of the gray goods used to print upon are not best quality like you would expect in a quilting store.  But they had some FQ bundles with larger pieces of coordinating fabrics and I bought the set.
