Don't bother with re-sale shops....too expensive. I look for shirts, dresses, sheets, and anything that has a print. Some items are a low as 25 cents, not bad for approx.1 yard of fabric. I also asked my friends to check their scrap/rag bags for any "non-stretch" fabric that was not stained (bold I know) but they are great friends that know how much I love to quilt. I was supprise, in a period of 2 weeks, I found a great stack of cute prints on my desk when I got to work. No matter what I make, it will be a true "frindship quilt" because of the great people that donated the fabric. They would all prefer to see a beautiful quilt instead of a rag used to check the oil dipstick on the car :)
