Barb(frugalfabrics)-yes that is! And I'm not a big fan of peacocks. Even when I'm looking at cross stitch designs, I tend to avoid those with peacocks. I know they're beautiful but just don't tickle my fancy.

Olga, the checkered spider is one of the fabrics that I'm not sure is 100% cotton...it has a different feel to it....though it still could be.

LOL...I've got that fabric!...so when I saw it, I knew it was the same one. My grandma had it in her stash and I kept it for some reason...I'm not particularly a fan of peacocks either, but I thought the piece was unique. It's quite colorful if nothing else...lol.

Went to Goodwill & could not find one piece of fabric but I did find this gorgeous store made quilt that was so hard to pass up. It was a king size pink whole cloth & the quilting was outstanding. Had 2 pink quilted shams to go with it but couldn't think of anyone who could use it. WAS SOOOO PRETTYYYYY

Nice haul. If you want to find out if it is cotton or not then take a small bit and light it on fire. Put it out and feel the burnt edge. if it has small melted bits it has a synthetic in it. Cotton will feel smooth.
