Unbelievable, beautiful fabrics, now that is a quick stash builder, have fun creating beautiful quilts.

Congrats! Enough to keep you busy for a looooong time. How/where did you find such a thing? Would I be too crass to ask if you would be willing to part with the cat collection? Price? I know it will take you some time to organize all of it. But just asking. My daughter will KILL me for getting MORE fabric. I lost all my charm quilt boxes and Japanese prints when I moved to Phoenix.

That was one full (and obviously Big) tub. Happy for you.

I make crib quilts, lap quilts and single size quilts. I would go nuts with that. Would be organizing for days and days. Liked the one with hearts.

Let me list:
9" x 12" : 40 various shades of green
18" x 22": 33 neutrals
13 solids
29 prints
50 1930 type prints

1/2 yds 30 solids
55 yds solids
100 yds prints (might be more than I listed)
144 4" squares cat prints (each totally different)

Various other parts of unfinished quilts

Unfortunately very musty from storage...am washing as we type with detergent, white vinegar and baking soda.....found success if I wash once, dry hot, and then wash and dry again.

Cleaning up will take awhile but considering I paid $25.00 for the Tub...I think I got a bargain.
