What a wonderful deal! Our Joanns is like that and so is our Hancocks.
I probably won't be buying any fabric for awhile---I hit a garage sale last week and bought 134 yards of fabric. The smallest of the pieces was 1/2 yd.,there were a few that were a yard but most were 2 and 3 yd pieces. Some backing pieces and some white pieces were 6 and 7 yards. It was 50 cents a piece or 3 for $1. It didn't matter how many yards were in the piece, it was still 50 cents. It took two days to wash and dry all of it and a lot of baking soda and vinegar since there were 3 heavy smokers in the house. I'm going to share with my two sisters in Michigan. They quilt too.
