Quilting on a Budget -- How Many Yards of Fabric are in these Thrift Store Scrap Bags?

Fabulous good find. 🤺💐

Nice find! That is a LOT of fabric! Someone had quite the stash. Hope when I'm gone my fabric can go to another quilter who will put it to good use.

Wow, what a haul!!

[@romantictangle]

Yes -- especially when you consider that I left most of it at the store!

You have some beautiful expensive pieces in there. I recognized the light blue and red Fairy Frost pieces which is very popular and some of my favorite! And the Northcott pieces. Someone didn’t realize what they had when they donated all of that. Congratulations on a super deal and find!

Wow! Great find! Makes me want to go thrifting!

I was surprised there was that much fabric. How much did you pay for the 4 bags? I don’t have anywhere near me that sells secondhand fabric.

[@romantictangle]

It was six dollars a bag (25% off on green tags, so marked down from eight.) That's a better than usual price for that particular thrift store, and a far better selection of fabric. It seems like most stores put bags of scrap fabric in with the bedding, on the rare days when they have any.

That was a great bargain! Most of the used stores by me are really fundraising shops where the prices are the same as new or even more. They are geared towards someone looking to support their cause rather than someone looking to keep stuff out of the landfills or bargain hunt.

I bet someone passed away and his/her family donated it. I know the previous owner would be thrilled if they knew it went to someone who loved it.
