Patio Sale Score!

109 yards of cotton fabric....$20! Plus a pair of Boker shears for $1!

The lady had an entire shipping container set up as a craft studio. Very organized. Not big into the fabrics...compared to her beading, silk flowers, clothes pin dolls and crocheting.

I'm positive I can use the gingham on some project!

Use the gingham for Chicken Scratch quilt blocks. Someone posted picutres of one on QB and it was very pretty. Congratulations on your score!

The gingham may be poly cotton, which isn't a problem in my books. I made a baby quilt with tourquoise gingham hand appliquéd hearts on a white background years ago, and I think it was really cute. I saw a neat heart pattern the other day that you might like, I'll see if I can find the link.
