I bought the reminent special at fabric.com and was very pleased with the fabric. It was about 7 1/2 yards for under 19.99 and it is a great way to build up my growing stash. I put the word out that I am a quilter and I love scraps. As I am a pilates instructor I have quite a few clients that sew or their mom's sew and have received about 150 lbs of fabric so far I am really excited as I plan to make charity quilts and only work part-time. I use Bonnie Hunter's (thanks Bonnie) scrap users system and everything is nice and organized. My daughter loves to thrift shop so I go with her and buy yardage for backings and only buy fabric on sale. When I bought my sewing machine and frame the lady was getting out of quilting and she gave me thread and many yards of fabric. There are many ways to be frugal, just get the word out and have fun!
