I didn't have any trouble. I had been squirreling away a few dollars each week, and the day before the big sale, I brought my jar of coins to the bank, where they exchanged them for bills. I had $11 worth of coins. Whee!
I went with a list. I wanted about 5 yellows, 5 whites, 5 blues, 5 Asian-themed, 5 "large prints" and 10 batiks. It helped me from going completely crazy. I ended up spending $55, which was all the cash I brought.
There were a lot of beiges and browns, and novelties and "charms", but none of those interest me. I was pretty happy. Now they're all washed, ironed and folded. I've also harvested the selvages.
Later I'll be working on the backing of the Sunshine Quilt I can't show you.

Great haul! (And good for you to have a list.)
Pretty, pretty, pretty......and such a wonderful price! Wow!
Oh what fun! I'd be like a kid in a candy shop!
Wow, you did great! Sounds like a fun trip, for sure.
And I see you're a "washer" too. I have always washed, just to be careful. I think we "washers" might be a minority.
Hugs and happy Sunday
Oh, I wish I would have known - I would have met you in Henniker - it's not that far from me...
Maybe next time...
What a bright idea to go in with a list. Not sure I would have had the smarts to do that! That must have been so much fun - and so stressful, to have to restrain yourself at all!
What a find!!! I would have a field day,too, what fun!!! They look just lovely!
Woweeee I wish you had called me in advance. I would have loved that deal :)
Beautiful fabrics and I love, love, love the price :)
Smiles,
