It will even be good to put up a sign that says, "Whatever is left after 1 pm will be half price." Yard sales usually have lots of visitors early in the day. You can get shoppers to return if you say items will be discounted in the afternoon.
Or everyone may leave without buying anything in the morning, LOL.

As a scrap quilter, I would prefer to fill my own bag rather than buy bags that are already stuffed. I like to feel the fabric before I'm buying, or know the brand, which isn't usually possible with scraps. However, since the bags are already stuffed, I would leave them that way. If they aren't selling at all, either lower the price or take the fabrics out so people can paw through it. I don't go to a lot of garage sales, but the last one I attended was charging $4/yard for quilt store quality fabric.
