Scored again! Purchased 22 yds of fabric for quilting stash and 14 yds of sewing fabric (for making mother's skirts). Quilting fabric cost was $.89 a yard and sewing fabric was $.85 a yard. The best purchase was the blue and yellow log cabin wall hanging. The wall hanging even had a label attached to the back!
I have begun keeping a record of my thrift store stash building fabrics on an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of actual costs of the quilts I build. I am doing the same with new quilting fabric purchases. Can you tell that in my former working life I was a bookkeeper/office manager?

I wait until just before cutting to press my fabrics.

I love the blue desert material and of course the paisley
