    I was driving back from some errands today and stopped at Yard Sale on my way home. It really was the junkiest, hugest sale I had ever seen!

    Anyway, before I walked too far into the stuff I saw a couple of boxes with material in it -- so here is what I bought for $2.

    3 yds, 3 yds, 2.66 yds, 3 yds -- all for $1

    7 yards of silk screen 54 material (after washing) -- for $1. I feel another Kaleidascope quilt coming on.

    But did someone tell the gods today that I needed more green material for backing a quilt I need to finish this weekend? Sure is serendipity that every piece they had was some kinda green! Not complaining...oh, no -- not at 10-14 cents a yard!

    And it's not ugly green fabric either.
