Found at a wholesale outlet for used clothing
 

It's 200 meters (that is over 200 yards) of fabric I can use for backing for charity quilts! (Some of you know that I make lots of these every year and give them out to people here in Poland.) I found this whole roll for about $40, so I figure, if I use 4-5 yards for every quilt (it is 60" wide), I can probably get enough for 50 quilts out of this. I was so happy to find it. It was heavy.

I'm taking off 5 or 6 yards at a time right now and washing it in pieces. But it makes backing quilts very affordable!

Holy Moly!! That's a big roll of fabric!! I love plaids! I hope you get to use up every bit of it!!

Yeah for you. What a lucky find.

Terrific find, great job and thank you for sharing.
Have a Blessed day

Good for you!God bless you

wow that is big !!! good find

Great find!!!

good for you

That was a super find, $40.00 was a steal. Hope you sew till it's all gone.

That looks sort of like the Gordon plaid and since my Mother was a Gordon, can you send me some!?

Just kidding. You are one lucky individual.

That BIG roll of fabric looks daunting!! Sure glad you can use it!

Your charitable heart was rewarded! Nice find!

You hit the jackpot finding this material for that price! So happy for you!!

Sweet! Nice find. I want to see your stack of washed and folded backing. :D

Wonderful find. Did they have other stuff you were interested in? Sure wish I could find a place like that.

Wow, what a great deal! Looks like you've been rewarded for all your charity work.

So good for you to find this and put to such good use. Bless your sweet heart for finding such a great use for it.

Boy - you hit the jackpot. Fantastic!!!! Love the fabric

What a great idea-Lucky you to find such a great deal

Wonderful backings. I love plaids.

WOW! What a fantastic find!!! :thumbup:

what an awsome find, good for you.

That was a great find. Since I'm in charge of the charity quilts for our guild I know how hard it is to find backing fabric that doesn't have to be pieced. The larger pieces are such a time saver. It is so good of you to make all those quilts for others.

Great bargain and what a lovely thing to do.

I'll use it all, never fear. A couple years ago we all did over 80 quilts. I figure this will do about 50 twin sized or larger quilts. I was thrilled to find it--so happy, but have to resist going back to look some more. I figure I should use it up (or at least most of it) before I go back. I may leave my phone number and tell them if they get more in, to give me a call. Most of their clothing and items come from western Europe--mostly the U.K. I think.

A gift from God for all your charity work!! Wonders never cease! Now that you've just saved a bundle of money, I'm sure you'll enjoy even more, making your charity quilts. Thanks for your generosity and for sharing.

What a wonderful find, for a wonderful cause. Nothing say's homey and cuddle more than a good plaid.

Ditto. Glad you can put it to use. Thanks for all you do. BrendaK

Good find. That material looks like it will make great backings.

Terrific find!! Bless you for making quilts for others~~ :)

Fabulous find!

200 meters is closer to 218 yards!

I work with a charity quilting group also, and I really appreciate how wonderful it is to get such great backing material! Good for you, I hope you find another roll when you need it.

Great find - but my goodness.............. you are talking about 50 quilts.... sure hope you have help with them

that is wonderful!!! That is a great deal on it. :) Happy sewing

Great bargain and good width for backing.

holy hanna, what a find, lots of backing

Well, Congratulations on your find. I'm glad someone got it who will put it to good use!

That's beautiful fabric and it will make gorgeous backings. Bless you for doing all that charity work.

Awesome find!!!
