I've just asked a friend who works in a charity shop to bring me all her stock, when we go out for lunch, so I can pick out the usable ones :XD:

I bought from her, she wanted 20p each so I gave her a £1 and told her to keep the change.

I have just unpicked them and measured them, they are 70" wide and 18" in depth which means I have bought 2 yards x 70" wide of lovely fabrics for bindings, or Project Linus quilts for a £1/ $1.63 :shock:

Now that is what I call a good buy :thumbup:
