Wow, great job! I didn't do too bad either, I got 115 ties for $5.00, plus a few doilles thrown in.

I think we did really good! :thumbup:

I have had some good finds, but none as great as that.

And I thought I found a bargain today. You top me. I went through Goodwill today & based on all of your thrift store finds, I decided to see if they had any. I found a pc. of muslin for $4.99. It turned out to be 7 yards. I have no idea what I'll do with it since I've never used it before but I still feel like it was a great find.
What do you all use muslin for?

I use it for foundation piecing(like paper piecing but you leave the foundation in). Some people use it for quilt backing, though I prefer to use co-ordinating fabric if I can.

I don't use a foundation for my paper piecing. I'm like you where I like to use co-ordinating fabric for background. Guess I'll have to come up with something else. Thanks for the suggestions though.
