Here it is - washed and folded. It's unfortunate that about half of the pieces have faded spots from being stored exposed to the sun. I know it's all been put away in boxes for over 20 years. Sis told me that is what I'd find, so no surprise there.

Rough measure - 305 yards, with 84 of that being brown! Yup, my sister's favorite color. Before I put it all away, I plan on cutting 4" squares out of each fabric to put together for a lap quilt for Sis, along with larger bed quilt. That way she'll have a piece of every fabric back. BTW - I love scrappy quilts so that one will be real fun!

Two things I noticed - very little raveling in the wash - and almost all a full 44/45" wide!

I think I was a bit off on the estimated age, Sis worked there before I got married, so these are from mid/late 1970's. Not a large print in the bunch! It's also interesting - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue , Browns, and a few blacks, but not a single purple in the lot.
