As usual, I am late in hitting the sale that started over the past weekend but I am quite pleased with what I did bring home today. Clearence fabric for $2.50 a yard ( 50% off the sale price of $5.00 ) and I was able to get 6 to 8 yards of 6 different fabrics for quilt backings and then I was able to use a 50% off coupon for 4 yards of 108 inch backing fabric. I am set for awhile!!

You did great!!!

I was there today and walked out with thread! Never thought to just stock up on backing. YIKES. I might have to go back tomorrow.

since the fabric is the normal 42 or so, inches wide, you will need enough to piece together for a big quilt. I always try to get 9 but figure anything that is 6 yards of a continous length, will get me covered for most lap size quilts and if I need to piece a 3rd. fabric ( I love scrappy quilts...front and back! ) then in it goes to the mix!!

At 2.50 a yard....and this stuff is nice quality too.....you can't go wrong. It was orgionall 10.00 a yard, marked down to 5.00 a yard and with the 1/2 off the clearence fabrics.....it is stock up time!! Go back and take a look, you just might find treasures for the back of your next quilt....or quilts!!

I never see that kind of sale at my local Joann's. May in Jersey

You must have the Mother of all JoAnn's. Our store was remodeled last year & I've yet to find anything I want to use except batting.

We have the same discounts in our Joann's this week. I bought a nice flannel for $1.50 per yard and a beautiful quilting length for $2.00 per yard, not to mention the other calicos for $1.50 per yard. Great for our sewing ministry.....and me.

great deal :thumbup:

Fleece is on sale this week, nice selection of $3.99 and $4.99...

see i almost missed it too...thnx for the heads up...might have to make an extra trip to town...hmmm what else can i accomplish in town tmw lol
