The depressing thing about doing Stash Reports is that I'm such a slow quilter that I hardly ever get to record any fabric used. A lot of things are in progress, but the only one I've finished is a sun dress for my niece's doll which used up a mere quarter of a yard.
Quite a lot of fabric came in this week, but they were all thrifty purchases.
I bought the Ultimate Fat quarter Collection from Nancy's Notions: 42 fat quarters for $41.99. Although I love buying fabric grab bags, and it was a good price, I really hesitated when I placed the order. A customer had left a bad review of this item because she felt that most of the fabrics she received were dark gloomy colors. However, as a scrappy quilter, I thought it likely that most of the fabric would be useful. And I was not disappointed.
At the thrift store I found 2 yards of this print for only $1.90.
Then my brother gave me 6 large men's shirts. I'm not sure how you figure the yardage on these.
I'm going to say 1/2 a yard per shirt since they have short sleeves.

"Dark and gloomy" colors? I'm guessing someone who leaned towards civil war reproductions might absolutely love those -- and have unhappy things to say about bright and modern colors.
I feel that there are no ugly fabrics. I agree with Bonnie Hunter that if it looks ugly, you just haven't cut it small enough. :-)
I had the same thought about civil war reproductions -- a quilter who likes bright modern prints might not be happy with those. And the reproduction quilter wouldn't like the brights! I think you've got to be flexible if you're going to buy grab bags.
