I wouldn't buy fabric without seeing it first....

I can get fabric on sale at WalMart for $2-3/yd so you may have to undercut that price... :?:

I have also gotten fabric from our local Grange Craft Sale for under $1 per yard!

have you had a chance to post pictures? I think many of us are interested ;)

Also interested in Christmas fabric. Please PM me when you're ready to sell. I'll buy that.

I would love to have some solids. I love Amish quilts and I am getting solids together to piece a couple of them.

I'm interested but can't afford $60 for a medium size box right now. What could I get for $20 - $25? Willing to take any sizes, maybe just pick the color, sight unseen!

I would be interested in a variety of batiks or jewel tones of regular fabric. Small flat rate box or the envelope. Thanks

Like they say.. a picture is worth 1,000 words :) Please let us know when you start listing, I see quite a few of us here are interested!

I have started listing and have already sold several boxes. There is some listed now and plan to take more pics and list more colors/boxes tomorrow.

I would love to do that but don't know what to put them in. I wish they had a larger small flat rate box. I like the flat rate because there is so much time involved in emailing back and forth to check on postage to different areas. I would be willing to put less in a med. flat rate box for less money but the shipping would be the same. Shame to waste that space.
