I was on Craigslist and I saw a listing for cotton fabric...$25.00. I e-mailed the lady and she sold me all this. I did have to do a 50 mile round trip to get it, but I am glad I did. About half the fabric is not 100% cotton, but I can either give it away or use it for other projects. My daughter helped me separate the fabric.

I am planning on using as much of it as possible for charity quilts. I really didn't need more fabric, so when I saw the ad, I immediately thought about some of the charities we do in my quilt guild. I am going to put these in wash bags and throw it in my washer before I put them into storage containers.

What a haul! You did great.

Wow! Well worth the trip!
And you really can use many of the 'not 100% cotton' fabrics for quilts, especially if you or someone you know does the "art" quilts that use all sorts of fabrics.

Wow you hit the mother load!!

I was thinking I could some of the fabric for backing and some of it will make it's way into a few doll clothes and dresses for my daughter. There are some drapery sheer fabrics in there... not sure what to do with those.

WOW!!!! You really scored!!!
Congratulations on such a great find!!!

Wow lucky you! Santa claus likes you! Merry christmas!

Whooooooo. you hit the jackpot! Great catch.

Great score!! Be sure to wash it all quickly. Actually, if it were me I wouldn't have brought it inside to my carpeted room. Be careful of critters in it!

NICE!

For sure!!!!

Wow, that was a great deal.

Nice haul!

WOW! Great buy!

Ding Ding Ding you have won First Prize for the best deal. wow and all of the charity quilts that you can make. yeee haaaw

What a great deal.

Congrats! on all your wonderful fabric, Have fun with all of your future projects,happy quilting

Lea, I noticed your avatar quilt. I have been thinking about sewing a quilt for our local Breast Cancer fund drive. Did you have a specific pattern or do a variation of quilt squares in coordinating pink fabrics?

Worth the trip, I would say. Great find.

Sheer curtains, perhaps some shadow applique?

Awesome.

Good job! I love it when a quilter can get tons of fabric for not a lot of money, and then to give it back in the form of charity quilts is awesome!

Wow!!! You got a great deal! I keep looking on Craigslist for area and no luck. Maybe someday though!

Great deal and looks like it was worth the trip.
Happy quilting!!

I think it was worth the trip.

Wow you are set for life ! LOL

that is awesome!!!

Hi Misty Marie,
You can do wonderful things with ALL of those fabrics. Just be sure to press things nicely before cutting out the patchwork pieces. For quilt backs you can use patchwork there as well, especially if you plan to machine quilt them. I've made hundreds of quilts for needy kids this way and they are all warm and comforting and loved.
Good luck on your projects. quiltmakerns

Great find :D:D:D
