I see several that would be put to immediate use in my projects. as you make your "baby" quilts, make them a little larger so they can be used longer. Babies grow out of everything daily. A larger quilt will work on the bed longer. Have fun with your projects.

bink 02-14-2011 10:15 AM

with the great variety-fabrics could be used in a great 'I Spy" quilt.

grammiec 02-14-2011 10:16 AM

I have a 39 yr. old daughter and 37 yr. old son who LOVE skulls! Want to sell the skull fabric? I'm making a kaleidoscope quilt out of skulls and roses fabric now for one of the kids. Need another for the other one! HA

Wow, what a find. It looks like someone bought a ton of fabric from Walmart. I work at Walmart & have had those fabrics in the fabric department. They should make several good quilts. I like the skulls for Halloween bags.

WOW jackpot Jenni...

All Thumbs 02-14-2011 05:38 PM

Holy Mollie! ...and I thought I had good fortune today finding about 8 yards of Christmas fabric at Salvation Army Store. Look what you have. I am so happy for you.:) Do post from time to time what you have made. Congrats and congrats to niece and hubby for the twins on their way.

sew wishful 02-14-2011 05:48 PM

You struck it rich, I'd say!!! I love the chili pepper one!! And a few others! And to have someone looking for vintage machines for you is priceless!!! Hurray for you!

Wow, what a find, and lucky you. My dh bought storage room lockers for 20 yrs and never found that much fabric. He did find a couple of older machines but not antiques.

Katz13203 02-14-2011 07:24 PM

Gerbie 02-14-2011 07:26 PM

There is someone who is entering the ugliest fabric challenge that has some fabric with skulls on it.

Needlegrammy 02-14-2011 07:59 PM
