I just hit the mother lode
I went to pick up a prescription for my OAO and stopped by this shop not too far from us called Art Smart, donated items for crafty stuff. Well, I went over to the old cardboard barrels and grabbed up two one gallon plastic bags with enough fabric to use for backing on two quilts (double) and in another 2 gallon bag was rolled up fabric. I offered the woman $5.00 for all of it and she said "Sure!" So I came home. You could have knocked me over with a feather -- I counted 51 and I repeat FIFTY-ONE fat quarters - Benartex - by Carol Endres. I am so excited. Then there were squares 5" and strips about 4-5" maybe 2-1/2' long, all colors, solid. But the fat quarters are adorable - Angels, batik, farm scenes, trees, stars, plaids, stripes, you name it! Best day in a long time! So now I know how all of you that found something so precious as this feels. Hoo-Yah!!!!! Edie
