Actually I've been thrift shopping (via Craigslist) and gathering diverse colors that way. It's helping me to envision something other than red and white!
Do you buy locally so you can check the fabric? Or, sight unseen? I'm curious. Never thought of checking there.
I've done it a few ways. Once was local and I just picked up the bags/boxes and sorted through it later. That was a haul and a half at $5. I did the same thing with another woman and got a trash bag full of fabric and several books, for $20. At those prices anything I couldn't use for quilting or another project just went to goodwill.
Another time I went to the lady's house and shopped in her closet for $1-$2 per yard, for some excellent quality yardage.
Just see what the deal is, get pics if you can or find out via email what they have. If it's the right deal you can't really go wrong.
