A really FABULOUS find!! Luck was on my side!

We went into town today to exchange a motorcycle lift. After we did that we stopped off at the Goodwill. And I found the all this Batik fabric. It totaled out to 16 yds. @ $3.00 a yd. I paid $48.00 for all of it. And the best thing is ..the really light fabric on the bottom of the pile is 4 yds. x 110" across large enough to be the backing on a quilt.

The fabric ranges in yardage of 2 to 4 yards apiece. I was stunned because another lady had just rummaged through the fabrics that were hanging up on the same rack.
The black and pink piece is actually red and black.

Wow! Congratulations! I don't find deals that great at Goodwill....good, but not great! Yours was a FIND! Gotta ask, are you in Oregon or Washington? Bet you did a happy dance when you got out of the store!
