I really have a problem recommending used fabric either clothing or sheets as by the time those things, especially cotton, get to goodwill they are worn out. When I first started I found a group of quilters that met at local quilt shop (LQS) and they didn't mind if I sat in on their Thimbleberries club meeting. I stated I was starting out and you wouln't belief the amount of fabric that quilters are willing to share. Another place was yard sales where I found cutting boards, rotary cutters and rulers: usually because someone tried quilting and didn't like it.
