Yeah, the lady at the check-out counter told me the bag alone was worth the $1. I'm for sure going to have to get moving on a few more scrappy quilts. I now have about 5 XL bins stuffed with scraps. I've made quite a few scrap quilts so it will all be used! One very cool thing in the bag was about 100 or more 2-4" full length strips. Instant jelly rolls;> It is rather fun to need a certain type of fabric or color for something and have it on hand. I'm lucky I was there close to opening. It opened at 4PM and I spotted the bag around 4:15. I'm sure someone would have seen it soon thereafter. There are quite a few partially finished blocks in the bag as well.
Woohoo! I've been very lucky with my fabric finds lately.

Emptied it and more delicious fabric and scraps and a rather large, black spider as a bonus<shudder>.
There was a small amount of felt scraps in there that I will not use. If someone wants them for postage? Though it may cost more to mail them then they're worth:

No more pics as the washing process has begun;> Roughly 3 yds. of fabric weighs a pound. So, I got 20.3 pounds of fabric or 60 yards of fabric for $1. I don't think I'm going to beat this find for a while. The spider was just to keep me humble;>
