I go to garage sales every Thurs during the season. I get alot of fabric--not usually QS grade, but good enough for my charity quilts. My LA'er, gives me lots of scraps of batting, that I sew together for smaller quilts. So I think I can make a lap size quilt for $5.00. Our guild is making 42 twin quilts for an orphange, & I was able to considerably downsize my garage sale stash for that. We made alot of 10 mins blocks.
