Sandy, the garage-Sale Queen said she paid $3 for all this! It amounts to 5 POUNDS of fabric. My husband about gagged, but I love all the bright colors.

these are that stiff painted-on feeling stuff. I have no idea what I'll do with these.

OK, I admit it... this is hideous, but there's 3-4 yards of each!

Wahoo! 1-24 8 & 9" square sof each. Can you say picnic blankets??

And then there is this... Lilly Pulitzer fabric! Well, hot spit, I'd never even heard of her until I researched the signature. I may find a collector for these.

fabric_fancy 10-30-2011 11:36 AM

you and i have very different tastes because i don't think the fabric is hideous.

raedar63 10-30-2011 11:38 AM

The "hideous" fabric would be beautiful framed in black like the "city streets" ,or the "deco" patterns , both of which are free!

quiltsRfun 10-30-2011 11:42 AM

I love the bright colors too. Have fun with your doorstep find.

HA! Good try. ;-)

Cattyqwltr 10-30-2011 12:25 PM

What about some kind of stack and whack project for the fabric in the second picture. Never made anything like that myself but looks like the type of fabric that would work well with it. Have fun.

Shelbie 10-30-2011 12:25 PM

I wish Sandy would come and leave a bag like this on my doorstep. I'd be sure to thank her and give her the $3 she paid.

jc469273 10-30-2011 12:25 PM

Cute.

jpmaroni 10-30-2011 12:27 PM

Oh how spectacular! The "hideous" fabrics...to me they shout Bargello mixed with all sorts of beauties. Have a great time creating with all of your new treasures!

kheliwud 10-30-2011 01:16 PM

Awesome, an instant stash for $3!

dixiebelle162002 10-30-2011 01:20 PM

I wish someone would put fabric on my doorstep!

kateyb 10-30-2011 01:30 PM

The ones you call hideous would make beautiful stack and whacks. If you really, really hate them you can send them to me.

Sallyflymi 10-30-2011 01:36 PM

You have the best friend. Enjoy her and the material.

luana 10-30-2011 01:43 PM

You are going to have so much fun! Lucky you.

cctx. 10-30-2011 01:46 PM

Very pretty, if you don't like them send it over to me.

QUILTNMO 10-30-2011 01:48 PM

hperttula123 10-30-2011 01:50 PM

Those are beautiful fabrics!!!

KerryK 10-30-2011 02:07 PM

While your second photo may not be the prettiest, I bet they would make pretty Stack N Whack blocks!

fixfido 10-30-2011 02:08 PM

Now, that's a stash I would LOVE to have! You are one lucky girl!

quiltsillysandi 10-30-2011 03:03 PM
