Annie's Quilt Orts: Bullseye

I love a bargain, and that store with the red bullseye as its logo is one of my favorites to find them in. Being a textile lover, the towels and linens section always beckons. All those yummy textures and colors and prints. Like an addict needing a fix, I can't resist the fabric in those aisles that stretch from kitchen towels to embroidered pillows, cotton sheets, quilted throws, and even shower curtains. Yes, shower curtains. I came home with three of those tonight for the miserly sum of less than $15.00 Check it out:

Won't this make a great quilt backing?

At 72" x 72", that is four yards of nice quality 100% cotton fabric for $3.74.

This one with the letters was definitely irresistible to me, a WORD girl. Did I ever mention before that I was on Wheel of Fortune years ago?

Four yards of modern looking printed 100% cotton fabric for $4.24.

This is the only shower curtain that is actually going to be used for that.

Originally $25, I paid $6.24. Amazing! My husband just laughed and shook his head when I told him two would be used for quilting. You can't take a quilter anywhere without them looking for fabric. I was even eyeing some flannel shirts on the clearance racks. Those XXXLs are generous with the yardage...So if you love a fabric bargain, get thee to Target!

Love your thrifty finds. I would never have thought about shower curtains as potential backing fabric. Way to go!; January 22, 2011 at 6:24 AM

Vivian said...: We have a Target on the other side of town. I don't need the fabric added to my stash, but I'm really curious whether I'd find such great bargains in our store too. I may just have to check it out.
