All this for only $8.00!!! Six of the pieces were marked $1.50 and most were half-priced color tickets. The 7 1/2 yd. pink piece was marked $2.00.
I am attaching a photo of my score although the white on the pink doesn't really show up, nor does the narrow white stripes on the yellow and tan sheets, which are 100% cotton(as is the navy blue sheet).
You done good! And your fabrics go welll togehter. Did you buy all there was, or pick and chose to get such a good match?

What a find!!! Sometimes you hit them & sometimes not… I went to a local thrift store last Tues & bought 2 brand new black mens shirts. They were made by Dickie, with employee's name embroidered on by a company. I have needed black fabric for some time. Need to wash & cut up,….

Great find. There is a thrift store a couple of blocks from me, and I've been wanting to make a jean quilt and saw any jean for $2. Wish they had material, maybe one day. I'll keep looking though it's only a walk away.
