Wow great find. Wish I could go to a yard sale and find such a bargain. You are very lucky indeed.
Can't wait to see what you make with it. First fabric that caught my eye from the group was the one with the fall leaves on it. :-) Be sure to post a pic of quilt you make with these treasures. :-) Rachel

Great buy! You've got some fun fabrics to work with.
And you've hit on what is my biggest problem in quiltmaking: how to use fabric I've fallen in love with! I have a hard time deciding on patterns....or I should say ideas, since I don't buy or use patterns, but just figure out blocks from quilts I see. Right now I'm struggling with how to use a striped fabric that matches my bedroom curtains (actually fabric left over when I cut the curtains from sill length to a valance). I'd love to make the disappearing pinwheel churndash, or whatever that is, but don't think this block will work well with stripes. I may resort to warm wishes or rail fence or some variation on a simple 9 patch, or maybe an Irish chain, which I've always wanted to make.
