Walmart haul this morning
I've been reading a lot about WM moving from bolts to precuts. I was there this am and found several bolts marked $1 clearance. The biggest yardage of green is 7 yards. I did leave 2 bolts on the shelf as I just didn't like the designs. LOL I got a total of just under 18 yards for my donation quilts. The cutting gal is a new quilter and I invited her to our guild so she can learn more. She plans to come next month. We had some good chats.

Wow!! You really did get a big group of fabrics. Good for you and thank you for making donations quilts and making someone very happy to receive a nice quilt.

Woot QuiltnNan!
I checked my store on Tuesday and there were still maybe 100 bolts left. Picked up a couple of precut packages (5 fat quarters for $1) and maybe 15 yards. Had a chat with my crumb quilter here who ran to her local store but missed out, so I went out on Wednesday and picked up a bit more. There were already significantly less bolts from the day before and less after I went away again... Picked up about 20 yards mostly polka dots but that included some more for me too. When I fall off the fabric moratorium wagon, I fall hard -- but at $1 yard, it was worth a bruise or two.
In my most recent project, I've been working with a large bag of scraps I got from the Goodwill, most are Walmart and Joann fat quarters. It varies on a piece by piece basis, but I was surprised how much I liked working with some of the Waverly Fabrics. It seems I like the ones that include the term "Screen Printed" on the selvedge. Some of the trendier fat quarter fabrics I didn't care for the feel as much.

Hi from this stranger who just logged in after not being on this forum in years
I wanted to let you know about the Gueterman thread in Walmart. They have the big spools for 50 cents and the smaller ones for a quarter. i bought almost $20 worth a few days ago.
