They sell cotton shirtings on many sites and in QS's that are LQS quality and are reproductions from vintage quilts. They are perfectly suitable/desirable for todays quilting and are specifically made for quilting quality. They are used in reproduction style quilts with other fabrics reproduced from a certain era. Of course you can also use them in any other type quilt you desire.

As others have mentioned using men's shirts are also a very exceptable method of using shirting.
