| stack of large scraps |
Last week, I stopped at Neat Repeat (local thrift shop) after running some errands and had fun browsing the craft section. Often the area is bare, but that particular day, I found some great cotton for baby/child quilts. Many of the scraps were large (roughly 8 x 12 inches) and some were shapes like a shirt bodice or sleeve. It looks like someone was making multiple garments as the fabric was cut with several fabrics layered together. I rummaged through the rumpled fabric and retrieved the ones I liked. It was difficult to resist the abundance of large scrap pieces.
The salvages declared that these are
Michael Miller Fabric - most released within the last three years.

Once the pieces were pressed, they formed an impressive pile of fabric and all for $2.00. I'm going to have fun turning the scraps into a quilt. Currently, I'm considering the
Kelsey Baby Quilt pattern by Rebel Perfection - free on Craftsy.
In addition to the fabric, I found four bobbins for my sewing machine, four new skeins of Caron Simply Soft yarn, and some shoe laces.
What a great haul -- quite the steal for $2. The fabrics are really pretty and the baby quilt pattern is so nice. Realizing that I have not been to any thrift shop or Goodwill in ages!!
