OMG!! The green fabric in the first picture is from 1980-I know because it is in the first quilt it ever made (which is hanging over a quilt rack in my bedroom as I write this!!) My fabrics have all faded badly, but it is still the same fabric!

What a find! You must be having a blast just fondling all that new fabric!!

Looks like Christmas in June to me! Lord, I haven't seen a windfall like that since my daughter got married and her mother in law sent me several boxes of material and quilt blocks, just looking for someone to unload on! Wasn't near the haul you got, though!

Great haul. I found some of these prints in my moms old scrap pile. The green and the dark brown in the first picture. I think she might have made a maternity top out of the green when she was pregnant with me :)
