Nice fabric that will look great in a quilt. Pants - no way. LOL. I watch for clothes when I am thrift store shopping and have found some nice fabrics that way too. I also love to watch for buttons.

Who would ever buy such an odd looking pair of pants. Guess they had second thought s about them too. :-)

Wonderful looking fabric. Isn't it amazing what you can find when you are not really looking? I am going to look at the Goodwill Store clothes a little more closely from now on. Great find.

WOW, not my first choice for pants, but I'm sure it will make a beautiful quilt.

I have come up with good new quality fabric at Goodwill a couple of times . The problem with me is that I can only go to those places when I go out of town as we don't have one here. Although, at our local thrift store, I have found brand new material and off good quality. Always a pleasure to find .
