Thanks ladies! Yes, some of them are really similar to dish towels. Some are sort of pebbled...I think that's called seersucker fabric? So maybe clothing scraps are included too?
None of the stitching is falling apart and I don't see any wear around the edges so I'm thinking maybe older fabric but more recent stitching. Especially if Jan is right and there's some Moda in here!
Regardless of their age I think they're really neat and will definitely be making some stuff out of them. At least one bag, if not two or three. I have a couple of aunts who I think would really love these so I'm thinking these will work their way into some Christmas gifts too. I'm happy I got so many of them! I can do a few different things.
They'll languish in the UFO cabinet for a little while, I have a huge list of things I'm "right in the middle of" but I WILL get to them!
