Hey I'm really sorry Quiltinlee if I rubbed you the wrong way....or made you feel naive....but My Father passed last year and we too had so much to deal with there was all kinds of craft projects as well but most all the fabric was rotted...so buyer beware...and it wasn't that we wanted to throw things away but you can only keep so much and give so much away and that is what we did we gave to the local charity center ...the majority we gave to family members what was fit to give ...and what we washed that truned to strings we put in the trash...I realize you meant well...sorry again if I hit a sore spot sure didn't mean too....
