I once found a 2 piece square dance dress at a garage sale. The skirt was made from gathered tiers, the bottom row being about 8" wide and gradually getting a little narrower going up. The fabric looked like an Alexander Henry cowboy print with rows in various colors -- mostly red and navy. There was lots of yardage in it. Anyway, I picked it up and got more than 2 children's quilts from it. They looked great!
