quilter101, the most wonderful quilts i have ever snuggled with were scrappies made with cut up clothes. such a wonderful selection of fabrics. thrift stores, garage sales. many times when i tell the garage sale proprietor that i am making a quilt and including their skirt in the fabrics they will throw in a bunch more stuff. especially on the last day of the sale. it's great!!!!! quilters are champion recyclers. :wink:
