Promise Broken. Sigh

I said I was done with bidding on fabric auctions, I know, but then two lots came up for grabs that I couldn't resist. This one included four bolts of fabric in colors I need for my planned pink and blue quilt -- maybe even enough for the backing -- and also a decent amount of a low-volume print that may possibly be enough to back a king size quilt I'm thinking of making this winter.

I've also decided on a max limit based on what I think each one is worth, and I won't bid more than that for either lot. Because of that I probably won't win the first lot, as there have been a couple of bidders competing with me on it (this always happens when there are bolts in the lot. We all know how valuable they are.)

The potential backing fabric in the first lot.

The second lot appears to be quilting cotton scraps, and remind me of the 9 lb. lot I got with all the panels.

There might be some yardage in this lot, too.

What looks like some handmade binding in this pic tells me there's a good chance it belongs to a quilter. Plastic bags are always a good sign -- the original owner wanted to keep her stash organized and clean. Stay tuned to see if I win either one. :)
