One of our guild members passed away last year and her friend and fellow guild member organized a sale to benefit her daughter, so she could go to college. They set up tables in a house that was empty and had two ladies set up at a cutting table to either just measure and tag or cut. Most of us just bought the whole piece. They sold it at 2.00 a yard. Most pieces were about 3 yards. It was a lot of work,because this lady had an enormous stash. Filled up every room of a 1200 square foot house.
Good luck, and I am so sorry to hear about your daughter.
