I make rag quilts out of thrift and estate sale fabric. I have a thrift store near me that has loads of denim and cotton jumpers. The clothes have different color tags and I buy when the tags are 75%off, I know the clothes have been there 6 weeks so I'm not taking clothes someone could use. I find the women's jumpers are usually still in great shape and have lots of fabric if they are gathered. The handmade ones stick out and are usually very good fabric. I also buy flannel and cotton sheets for the middles and backs. I actually sell my quilts because some people really like the green aspect and each quilt is one of a kind. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow if you would like. My daughter is asleep and our quilt pictures are on her computer. I enjoy the challenge of finding fabrics to put together and I do mix new with old. Hobby Lobby always has a 40% off coupon and you can print off as many as you like.
