I was just about to write about the virtues of saving the fabric from old clothes, since I have been going through my closets and finding some great cottons. Then this article from Quilted Paradise newsletter was in my inbox. It covers the subject. If you don't already subscribe to this newsletter, you should check it out. I have gotten some very useful information from it.

In additon to old clothes, I have bought many sheets, bed skirts and curtains that can be used for their fabric. I almost threw out a shirt yesterday as it was really faded on the outside, but as I dropped it in the basket, it landed with the inside showing and it was still very colorful. Needless to say, I put it in the other basket to save. :lol:
