Oh it was the same there...no cutting. What was left after the other store owner purchased the bulk of it was partial bolts. At the sidewalk sale prices, you spend one tenth (at least) of what you would see the fabric at another retail store.

I make the pet blankets for the animal shelter. Since they are two sides, they use at least two yards per blanket (sometimes more like 3 yards. I buy the Joann flannel when it is on sale but I can go that fast. I would guess I go to Joanns for that fabric at least once every two months. I am out of flannel right now since I made two more blankets over the past couple of days. I hate to piece these things but I need to use up some cut fabric pieces.

I ended up spending close to $100, came home and the next day we went back with two of my friends in tow and we bought lots more fabric. Who could turn it down at that price? The first day that we stopped there just happened to be the first day of the sale. I still have some of that lovely fabric.
