I do well at one thrift store. They have 1/2 off every couple of weeks. They get donations of new stuff from deapartment stores. I got flannel sheet sets that I use for backing on quilts. I have made a couple of denim quilts from jeans I have picked up. The largest sizes have the lowest prices, and the most fabric. I made a rag quilt from shirts. I look for high end brands, as the quailty is wonderful. Nothing like having Ralph Lauren, etc.
