oh yea! Count me in too! I love remnant pieces.

Oh, yes I check every time I go to one of the stores to see what remnants they have.

Yep I also shop remants and clearance

Too funny!! I've gotten pretty good at guessing how much is left on a bolt (4 full times around the bolt is about a yard).There's a clerk at the Joann's I shop at that corrects me if I ask for the wrong amount...I'll ask for 1/2 a yard, and she tells me "no, you only wanted a 1/4 yard of this one, right??" It's nice when they play along. Then, they don't have to write it up and wrap it as a remnant.

Count me among the remnant junkies. It keeps us off the streets. Take care.

I am for sure! I've made some nifty scrap quilts straight from remnant bins.

I always checkout the remnant basket at JoAnn's. Have not found anything lately.

yes luvvvv them great at the 50 per cent at Jo Ann
