My grandmother and great grandmother rarely used new fabric in their quilts.(Think Great Depression) I am looking at 5 of those quilts right now. Three were made from reclaimed fabric (old shirts, etc). I can see pieces of my dresses from elementary school days in one! The other two are "matchy-matchy" so I know they were made for a special event. Love the scrappies and admire the craftsmanship on the "matchies."
