Sounds like a great idea! I get a lot of material from regular second hand stores. By that, I mean, I buy dresses and cut them up for scrappy quilts. I also make dolls and I get a lot of fabric for my "babies" that way. It is a cheap way to get fancy material and plain.
After all, isn't that the way your granny made her quilts? Old clothes and flour sacking. I still have my granny's quilt hanging on my sewing room wall.
