I think the fabric looked much better to her after you seemed to be interested in it. It was totally tacky to start sorting it after got there, though.
Something sort of like that happened to me a while back - this lady said she had LOTS of scraps - what she had was about the size of a box of copier paper - and THEN she wanted to divide it up between me and her church group.
There was maybe one or two yards - total - of fabric suitable for my purposes. Ah, well.
