    I've just asked a friend who works in a charity shop to bring me all her stock, when we go out for lunch, so I can pick out the usable ones :XD:

    I thought what a marvelous use of all those odd ones tucked in your linen cupboards for binding scrappy and other odd projects


    I bought from her, she wanted 20p each so I gave her a £1 and told her to keep the change.

    I have just unpicked them and measured them, they are 70" wide and 18" in depth which means I have bought 2 yards x 70" wide of lovely fabrics for bindings, or Project Linus quilts for a £1/ $1.63 :shock:

    Now that is what I call a good buy :thumbup:
