    Found all this fabric for $10.00 at local Thrift Store yesterday, from less than 1/4 yd to 3+ yd lengths.
    Mostly quilt fabric, plus a couple upholstery/drapery samples (purses/bags?), satin (inside of bags), ultrasuede (?? use).
    Saw 5 pieced blocks, so I got the whole bag of goodies, all mixed up in the pics below - scrappy quilts here we go - for the abused/neglected kids at Intermountain Children's Home.

    Floral mix, solids, misc.

    Small to large pieces - variety

    5 pieced blocks caught my eye, the rest a bonus!
