I was given a large quantity of muslin and I have been using it with my scraps. IMHO you can make anything work if you combine it with muslin. I even bought a bolt of muslin when Hancocks had a sale for $2 something per yard. I'm using up a lot of scraps. In fact I have so many scraps and/or FQs I have decided not to buy any more material until I use up at least a small portion of what I already have. I've been noticing some dresses and shirts that I can't/don't wear any more that would look good in a quilt.
