I do. One time I bought flannel pjs bottoms and tops for a year (a couple at a time--usually about 60 cents each) and then cut them all up and made them into flannel rag quilts. I ended up making 7 quilts out of the squares I had collected. I've used at least 2 for wedding gifts (put a note in the box what it was)...and they turned out great. I was very pleased.
But I regularly haunt the used clothing stores for 100% cotton sheets and 100% cotton curtains. I don't live in the US and this is my best source of fabric. I've made plenty of quilts with these items.
