    I'd say you got a fantastic deal. I used to have a Ben Franklin near me, but they closed, which was too bad as if I needed a craft item they generally had it. Then I discovered one a bit further,however, now that we've moved, it's just too far away. Too bad too, as they always had decent fabric prices and good deals on flat pieces. I once found a heavyweight houndstooth fabric for $0.50/yd and it was 60 inches wide. Made fantastic aprons for the kitchen at church and they wore like iron. Congratulations on your great find and the fabric is gorgeous.

    Man! These are gorgeous--and what a deal! I'm especially envious because I have been looking for red-and-whites to make a quilt for my DIL. Enjoy!!!
