    The best place I have found to buy from for the large cones is pumpkin vine corner, they are $38. This cone is about 4.5 times as much thread as the large spool which you can get for around $10. The large spool is about 6.5 times the size of the small spool. I would not buy this size for a quilt. I buy the cone for neutral colors and the large spool for specific colors.
    I was going to order a cone of this color that was recommended but I checked my stock first and found I have a large spool so I will have to try it.

    I ordered the large spools from Red Rock thread. I was going to get it at Hawthorne but they didn't have the number of spools I wanted. It's $1 more a spool at Red Rock.

    I will have to keep track of the name of this shop.....looks like a nice price on the thread and other items.

    Fabric.com has a great price on Aurifil, especially if you order enough for free shipping.

    I got lucky a summer ago. One of the shops here, for the entire month of August, had a sale on it. Buy three, get one free, and they were marked $9!!! What a steal!

    Shirley, I like that color. I think it may be this one listed at Red Rock: Light Grey/Green #2843
    I also need a color that I can use over multi-colored tops and that's a nice color.

    The one I used was #5021. The #2843 has more green in it.

    someone mentioned Bottomline from Superior. I really like it as well, but for the cotton snobs ( no offense! ) it is a poly thread and lasts a long time in the bobbin. I believe it is a 60 wt. thread so it's even finer than aurifil 50wt.
    I wish M* would carry Aurifil!

    Sandy where do you order it from? I went to a quilt meeting last night at our LQS and they don't carry it.

    I'm not Sandy...but I just ordered from Red Rock threads. Hawthorne has it, as well.
