Then down the row further I found the matching gold fabric marked "Civil War borders" and that was $2. I felt really good because I have been collecting Civil War repro fabrics because my family men were in that war. Two are buried at Arlington Nat'l. I am starting the one by Barbara Brackman too, the one she is offering a block a week.
never thought of pillow tops - that's an interesting concept. the rows are sewn together horz. Vertical rows are 'chained'. Wouldn't be hard to undo but wanted to continue if I knew what direction to take.
You got a terrific deal too - your Civil War project sounds like a fun one - be sure to share when done. Gotta love that Goodwill!
