I made a fannel rag quilt out of flannel shirts from Goodwill.. I bought the shirts in the summer, and they were $.80 per lb. It worked out great, I bought very good brand of shirts, and it was very well worth it. I made two denim blankets for the kids next door out of denim from Goodwill. There is a lot of good fabric to be had at the thrift stores.. I also have a bunch of my dad's shirts waiting for me to cut up when I figure out what I want to do..
