I was always afraid to buy fabric on the garage sales but have started since the price of it has gone up so much. I still have some fabric from the 70's when I sewed for my kids but I don't think I will use any of it for the quilts because not sure if it is all cotton but my youngest daughter wants a denium quilt she is saving up jeans from everybody that she knows so maybe I can use some if it in there for deco & stuff. She even wants the pockets so maybe some for a hangkey or such. Love the ideas that I find on here.
