WOW that was a good buy!!! I had went to one too one time and bought a whole grocery bag of material for $4.00 and there was 3 pieces that was just about a bolt each and then some other that were smaller pieces. You just have to be lucky on the day that you look.

GREAT FIND! I don't go to our Goodwill often, as it is in Joplin. I am going to start going once in awhile now to see what our Goodwill has for quilters!
Sometimes I give extra fabric to our Guild. We have work days and make community quilts for the police station, fire stations, families that had a disaster--it is surprising how many families become homeless overnight. I was astonished!

That is a SUPER find !! Have fun !!
I check our Goodwill every few weeks but NEVER find anything like that ! They rarely ever have any fabrics or sewing items. Keep hoping I'll find a good old Singer or Featherweight machine but so far, nothing ...
Our Goodwill stores here also charge too much $$ for stuff, I often see a lot I could buy NEW at Target or WM for less ... makes me wonder why people shop there ??

OMG ... absolutely awesome!! I love them all. I've not seen fabric at the Goodwill stores I've stopped at but I have gotten a couple of great quilt books/magazines. Your purchase is fantastic and I'm green with envy!

I saw a quilt at the quilt show in NC this mo. with the Hoffman (far right basket weave) material in a quilt and it was BEAUTIFUL. I wondered where she got that fabric, and now here it is. IF I knew how to get the pic. off my cell phone I would post it so you could see it.
Great find!
