Quilting Cat if you need fabric for charity quilts, you need to spread the word. There are probably people cleaning out estates, at your local quilt guild, quilting church group or senior's centre who would happily "gift" you with fabric. I was chair of Community Quilts for my guild for several years and once my name was out there, I've been getting fabric donations ever since. I just keep passing it all on to our current chair. I've even been given sewing machines, thread and batting. There are lots of people who would gladly share fabric with you for charity quilts. Get asking and spread the word through family, friends,and neighbours.
