Great Online Quilt Stores

Here are a few of my favorite online quilt shops:

Over the Rainbow is a great online shop with excellent customer service.  Their email newsletter is also great to keep updated on new collections.

Missouri Star Quilt Company features a "Deal of the Day" and flat rate shipping for only $5.  Their service is great.

The Fat Quarter Shop is a great store with an amazing selection.  Their products always arrive quickly and very well packaged.

Keepsake Quilting has great charm packs organized by color consisting of 50 charms for around $14.  They also have great "Bitty Bundles" which are 8 fat-eighths (9"x22") for under $10.  I also like this store because they sell pre-cut squares in multiple sizes including 2", 4", 6" and 10". This store also sells die cut shapes for applique and scrap bags.
