I can soooo relate! We have an historic farmstead on eastern Long Island. Someone has donated fabric from her stash for them to sell as a way to make a few dollars for preservation, etc. After looking through the assortment in the foyer of the farm house, I bought a bunch. There are fat quarters thru yardage. Some of the dates on selvages are from the late '90s. Average cost is about $2.00 yard. Washing machine is running as we speak!
