    Must have been some sort of sorting system this quilter used. That is my guess.

    WOW, what a score! I'm wondering if this was the 'leavings' from a multi family garage sale, where the initial was the person to whom the money went?

    Looks like a real bargain for a scrappy quilter.

    lot of familiar prints there - what size are the squares? Good haul.

    Maybe it was from a fabric exchange. The persons name started with M... Could she have donated 65 pieces in the exchange?
    Just a thought.
    Happy quilting,
    Susan

    I would guess that she had some sort of plan for a quilt and the labels indicate position (row/column) that piece would be.

    Another possibility is that she had a listing of her fabrics with information about each and that was the code for that fabric.
