Well, a little bump in the road. I have been deleting all emails from fabric sites, giving my JoAnn's coupons to my niece and avoiding quilt shops. Yesterday my husband and I went to the dentist. Lots of construction in the area so we left early. A bit too early, so we decided to kill some time at the Salvation Army. To get to the household items, they MADE ME go thru the linens. There was a home made drapery set made from quilting cotton. Black with bright colored streamers, right up my alley. What could I do? When I got it home and took it apart, I saw that the sewer hadn't even taken the selvedges off, so I got a piece 2.25 yards (like right off the bolt) 3 - 1 yard pieces and another piece 25" X 2.25 yards, plus a few assorted small pieces that I think were used as tiebacks. Around 6-7 yards for $4.
