Nice selection...great score! You could re-cut some, use some for paper piecing, some for applique...tons of uses! Oh, how about jar covers for home-made food gifts? I took some of my scrap fabrics to school, I am a teacher, and for math, the kids had to cur the fabrics into 1" squares...and various other sizes and then in art they mod-podged the squares to smooth vases and jars (bought at Good Will, garage sales, etc.) for gifts for moms, sisters, aunts.

If I don't was the cut pieces of fabric, I make sure I do wash the top in cold water on my very gentle cycle with , and I can't think of the name of the product, a wash made to stop bleeding. It works every time for me. I have made a Christmas quilt top without washing any of the fabric but I have it commercially cleaned when needed. I just want the quilt to last my life time and still look good. I have had it cleaned twice and it still looks crisp and new.

Oh boy, I wish I'd stumble on a find like that! I could use the small prints for my ornaments.

What a nice save and great value. You will have a great time making Christmas out of them. Now who will bring in the apple pie?

my dd & ddil & i all put them in individual lingerie bags & washed & dried them... i think out of all of them we had 1 charm that came out "off"

Could also make beautiful table runners. Great buy for $3!

Love all of it, don't know what I'd do with it, but I'd figure out sumpin for that good of a deal!
