After two of my best friends, and addicted quilters, died unexpectedly.....I ended up cleaning out their sewing rooms. It broke my heart to see the things they had been saving for 'someday'...........so, cut into it, use it, enjoy it! LIFE IS SHORT!

Meant to add.......HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND really enjoy using all the great stuff!

Wow, Wow. What a day for you. I am sure you are overwhelmed with all that material. Can't wait to hear about the things you made with this.

That's so great! I especially like to find the pre-made blocks. It will be exciting to see what you do with those half-square triangle blocks in red/white & black/white plaids. And the rest of the fabric ... Whoo Hoo!!

In addition to purses and totes, I've used it to make table runners and placemats, as well as wall hangings. I haven't used it on anything larger than a 24 x 30 ish wall hanging, but it works great on the runners and placemats. Tell DH to go soak his head, and remind him of how much money this will all save in the end because you won't have to go out and buy stuff, especially the batting. Men can be such ____________ pick your own word here. Enjoy your co-workers generosity.

Good deal! Tell your hubby "Just look at the money that you don't have to put out".
