    Default I DID NOT INTEND TO BUY FABRIC AT THE THRIFT STORE!!! REALLY!!!

    Seriously, I was out running errands and I went to the thrift store to find a couple of white sheets for my daughter to use for a backdrop for a photo shoot she has coming up. So, the area where they put the material is in the same place as the bedding. Oh, and it happened to be 1/2 off day with the store card... So, besides the two very nice white sheets for my daughter I found:
    A king size flat sheet with two pillowcases - dark blue - for a quilt back
    A full size flat sheet - light blue - for a quilt back
    and cotton.... oh did I find cotton....
    colorful dots - 4 yds
    black/grey with pink flowers - 3 1/3 yds
    brown with hearts - 3 1/3 yds
    green rose - 4 yds
    cream paisley - 2 yds

    All for a grand total of $20

    Someone shopped in my stash? I have three of the five fabrics you found . . .

    I think you did GUD!!!
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    That is a great find and idea. Not only do you get backing but the size will keep you on point for size. Good for you and the thrift store you are helping.
