Hard to believe what gets thrown away into a landfill. Glad you saved this beautiful fabric! A friend found an old rocker on the road for trash pick-up and the arm was broken. Her husband can do beautiful things with wood. So they went to pick it up and he restored it and it is beautiful piece of furniture now.

These are great. The colors are wonderful. Bet they would make some cute Bow Tucks also.

I am so glad that I found this post. I have a friend who gave me several fabric sample books. I have not done anything with this as of yet. I still need to take them apart and put together some lap quilts.
