Most quilting fabrics weigh between four to five ounces.

Just weighed the fabric each piece at a time - 16 pieces - the scale is accurate to 1/8 ounce - and the fabric total is 30 pounds 9 ounces.

The box weighs 14 -1/4 ounces.

Approxmate breakdown of fabrics:

12 yards of Hi-Fashion
40 yards of Fabric Traditions
57 yards of VIP

So if I tried to pick up the fiilled box, it would weigh about 31 pounds 9 ounces.
