Puts me in mind of an auction I went to. 96 apple boxes of fabric. I ended up with 19 of those boxes. Receipts in the fabric showed dates from 1928-1954. The lady had worked at a 5&10 store that had fabric. When it went on sale she would buy what was left on the bolts. When she retired she was going to just sit and sew. She retired and shortly after passed away, her sister inherited and kept all the fabric until she passed. When I measured I had a bit over 2,000 yards. (I spent just under $200) My quilt friends and I had a ball dividing it all up. Have made many quilts using that fabric and so have my friends. I will have a huge stash leftover too, but its in my will that it gets boxed and taken to the quilt guilds I am in and to several places who do charity quilts. So even if I don't use it, it will go to good places. There are still about 100 yards of that fabric left in my stash. Humm think I will go pull some and make another throw this weekend. Oh yes, most was 36" wide.
