I am helping a friend sell her fabrics in a garage sale. She is moving from Michigan to Texas and can’t take it with her. We have measured and folded what we could that was 1/2 yard or more. We have bagged scraps in gallon zip bags. Big and tiny scraps together, sorted by colors, Christmas,ect.
Will they sell? How much? I want it to go, but don’t want to give her fabric away either, she can use the money. Here is a picture of what we did...[ATTACH=CONFIG]613194[/ATTACH]

I was at a shop and we could fill a large freezer bag with scraps for $5.00, if that gives you an idea. Many people, including me, did it.

I like to buy these bags for my scrap quilts. It is amazing what I find in these bags. I've seen them priced from $2 to $5 a bag, from garage sales and flea markets to quilt shows and quilt shops.

These will make a few scrappy quilters very, very happy! Good luck

My sister-in-law loved garage sales and would always, always talk the seller down to a dollar. just saying. good luck.

My LQS does a big scrap sale once a year. It is $16 a pound. I think a pound is anywhere from 3-4 yards? Experienced scrap quilters might have a better guessitmate.

I'm thinking $5.00 a bag or $15.00 for 4 bags... guess which one most people will want.

You can always offer "better deals" later in the day, if the bags aren't moving.

I think $5 a bag is a fair price. If you are lucky enough to get some quilters at the garage sale then they will pay for the scraps at that price. Good luck

my Guild has a garage sale and we sell the scrap bags like you show for $2/bag. they go very fast. we sell quilting fabrics for $3/yd and all other for $2/yd.

I'm glad you put the scraps in clear bags. I went to a sale last February and the scraps were in brown paper bags - I like to see at least part of what I'm getting.
