Today I stumbled on a huge plastic tub (with cover) full of someone else's quilting dreams.
Let me list:
9" x 12" : 40 various shades of green
18" x 22": 33 neutrals
13 solids
29 prints
50 1930 type prints

1/2 yds 30 solids
55 yds solids
100 yds prints (might be more than I listed)
144 4" squares cat prints (each totally different)

Various other parts of unfinished quilts

Unfortunately very musty from storage...am washing as we type with detergent, white vinegar and baking soda.....found success if I wash once, dry hot, and then wash and dry again.

Cleaning up will take awhile but considering I paid $25.00 for the Tub...I think I got a bargain.

I found that on this board...the first dry kills the mildew I believe..then you wash smell finally out and dry again. Sunlight works too I read but its raining here today and I need to get the smell out of my sewing space.

My goodness, what a nice find. Can't get that much anywhere for $25. Even if its a little work cleaning it all up, well worth it. Congrats.
