There are two 5 yard pieces with the rest ranging from 1 yard to 4 inch blocks. There was one 12 inch pinwheel block. I see several scrappy quilts in my future.

As I was taking pictures, my fabric inspector arrived. That handsome little fellow is Jasper, a 3 year old red Abyssinian.

COOL!!!! You did good. Did they give you the cat as a "THANK YOU" for shopping????? I like your little helper.

Nice score on the fabric. Beautiful cat - I have 2 quilt inspectors who "help" me quite a bit with my fabric choices.

What a great deal.
Every once in a while I'll runn across a deal like that. Feels good doesn't it?

Looks like a good deal. I have been cleaning out for my move & the hardest part was getting rid of some of my fabric.But I was good I gave a lot awayto a church group that makes quilts for cancer patients & bags for walkers for peoplein nursing homes.Also gave yarn thatthey use for sick babies. At least it went for a great cause.I still have plenty to sew with. Now that I retired I wont have to go shopping for any.i'll be busy. :):)

What a great deal! That looks like such a treasure and the fabric inspector is very pretty. He/she looks like the boss too.
