Score!!! The duck cloth could be used as totes and with the felt you could make pin cushions.

That is a great find!! I'm not sure what duck cloth is. (I lead a sheltered life) But, I only use cotton in my quilts. I'm sure you will find a use for it.

Wow, great find! I saw this post on CL, but had no idea how extensive it was. It was just too far for me to drive on a whim. (I'm in Blaine.)

Duck cloth is wonderful for covering ironing boards. My friend made a 23x64 padded board to place on my ironing board. It is wonderful. do not know what I did without it. The cloth had a few loose spots, but a good steaming took care of that.

Great haul! I, too, would use duck cloth for tote bags. It simply won't wear out in your life-time.

If the duck cloth is plain and not something you would want as a finished item, it is great for interlining on totes if you want to stiffen them up and also for the lining of big brim hats.
