congratulations on your find!! many years ago when i lived in an apartment complex i pulled in and right next to the dumpster were boxes of fabric!!!! seems someone was moving out and hubby took it all out to the dumpster. of course i loaded into my trunk and the next day told the apartment assistant manager what i did. she laughed and said when i was ready to wash it let her know and she set the washer and dryer for me so i got it all washed and dryed for nothing!!! i still have some of it and use it for figuring out patterns and stuff.
