Got this fabric at Goodwill Store yesterday. On the left is 4 yards and on the right is 8 yards - all 100% cotton - both pieces for a total of $5.00!

Jamiestitcher62 07-21-2011 10:42 AM

oooh, like the one on the right. Good deal. Our Goodwill only has crap and no fabric at all.

justflyingin 07-21-2011 10:58 AM

I have some of the fabric on the right. I think it is from the 80's or 90's. But I like it...Actually I like both of these--not that it matters.

Anyway, you got a great deal!!!

leiladylei54 07-21-2011 11:13 AM

Wow, lucky you!!!

redmadder 07-21-2011 11:24 AM

What a find! The one on the right is in several of my quilts.

GagaSmith 07-21-2011 11:44 AM

Good deal. I used to have some of the fabric on the right, too.

donnajean beautiful quilt. Looked at our local GW Monday and no fabric but an old Singer for $100. DH said if he has Friday off we will go back and if it's still there we will get it. Friday half off Senior Day. Like both of the fabrics you purchased. BrendaK

Great find. Out GW is getting a bit pricy as well. Not sure what is going on with that. I don't have any luck finding fabric anyway. Lucky you.

JUNEC 07-21-2011 03:33 PM

I hear what you are saying. I told my DH that I couldn't buy anything there. I think they charge too much. BrendaK

I made a quilt using your fabric on the right in 2000 and the fabric came from Walmart.
I still have that quilt and it hangs on my bedroom wall.

I have the fabric on the right. My Mom, yrs ago, bought it along with many others & I pieced an Around the World for her. Still have lots of it + some of the other.

You just reminded me to check Salvation Army on my lunch break today. Last time I found a 2 yard floral print for $0.99 ! :)

I made a quilt 10 yrs. ago and used the same fabric as the one the right.
Good deal.

I found a completed, by hand, quilt in one of our Goodwill stores for $3.00. I brag about it all the time. :lol:

When going to Goodwill or ARC I have learned not to buy the material in the bags, it is usually material that I would not use. I prefer to look at the material on the racks - they are still a great bargain and you get more than cuff's off a shirt or a shirt sleeve.

wolflady 07-22-2011 09:13 AM

Nice find. I can never find anything like that at our goodwill.

callie 07-22-2011 09:54 AM

no fabric in good will here that I have found.

gwparrish97 07-22-2011 09:55 AM

I like both!

MargeD 07-22-2011 10:49 AM

Love both your finds and the price - even better. I've never seen fabric at my Goodwill store, but I haven't looked in quite a while either. Will have to add that to my Roundtoit List.
