If you've read my blog for long, you know that most of my original stash came from the scrap bags that Grandma found at thrift stores when she was buying stuff for her antique mall. I haven't seen a decent scrap bag in years. On the rare occasions when I find one at all, I can tell through the plastic bag that most of it isn't quilting cotton.
Last week though, I found four bags. Every last scrap is cotton, with lots of small pieces of different prints. This is just what I need to get a jump start on my scrappy little trips blocks. I'm guessing there's around forty yards here, all for twelve bucks. Since that would buy me a little over a yard at the quilt shop, I'm not going to be picky about my math.

Yarn is coming, enough for eleven new pairs of socks. When it gets here, I'll figure out and add the yardage for that.

What a great find!! And it does look like you got some very fun prints out of it, too! :)
