I've never gone to Thrift Stores looking for fabric, but after reading on here how many people do, I decided to try my luck. Below are pictures of my finds. However, the pictures don't do the fabric justice. The green with big plaids is 1 1/4 yard for $2.49 total marked down to $1.74. The lavender was 3 1/2 yds for $2.49 total. The green/black little plaid was 1 1/4 yards for total of $1.49. Red pin stripe, which doesn't show up good at all in the picture, was 5 1/2 yds for total of $2.99. The bin next to the fabric had (13) 12 X 12 squares of beautiful embroidered flowers. Each square was $1.49. The squares said, "take me home and quilt me". So I bought all 13 squares. I will quilt 12 of them and use the 13th square for a pillow top. I was so excited with my finds.

Great fines.

Wow, you did good. I need to go visit my local thrift store.

Oh my what a score.....those hand embroidered blocks are beautiful

You did good! I love thrift stores...like christmas...you never know what you'll uncover :)

My,my you done wonderful love the fabric and also love,love the embroidered squares would make a beautiful quilt and a pillow to match would just be so cute.Please post pictures when you have them done we don't have any thrift stores here that i no of or i would looking around in them for sure(:)

Score! Good for you.

I will post pics when I finish. However, I won't be working on that one for a while. I'm working on a quilt for my Mom made out of my Dad's clothes. He passed away 5 yrs ago and Mama has not been able to part with his clothes. I talked her into letting me make her a quilt and she will have the comfort of the quilt being made of Daddy's clothes. I put making her quilt above all my other UFOs. But, I will post pics.

It's a good thing I don't know where you live or those embroidered blocks would disappear tonight!

We are all essentially hunter/gatherers, and this lets us hunt and gather...

That was a score!!!
