It is a cranston print I recognized from walmart. Sort of an off white with tiny blue shooting stars...you all know it..they had for years...also in red and blue with white shooting stars!
anyway..I had just left KS guild where we talked about our next sewing day for the local vets...I knew I had red fabric and I have blue fabric, but no white to spare...
this ROLL of fabric was labeled as 18 1/2 yards for $18.45!
I was so happy, I squealed..aloud right in the store, and even louder when I got home and found it to actually be 20 1/2 yards!
Feeling very blessed right now!
