    Must have been some sort of sorting system this quilter used. That is my guess.

    WOW, what a score! I'm wondering if this was the 'leavings' from a multi family garage sale, where the initial was the person to whom the money went?

    Looks like a real bargain for a scrappy quilter.

    they varied from 2" to 5.5" I think the dear woman finally got a die fabric cutter and passed shortly after.

    Maybe it was from a fabric exchange. The persons name started with M... Could she have donated 65 pieces in the exchange?
    Just a thought.
    Happy quilting,
