thank's everyone for your reply's. utility quilts is exactaly what i am going to make! i don't have the money to buy new fabric. buying the batting is going to hurt enough. but... i have a ton of old clothes, jeans. corduory pants, flanel, you name it, we've got it. so making quilts out of what i have is exactaly what i am gonna do.
right now i am busy having my mom help me ( i am just learning) sewing christmas gifts from my clothing stash, but when i am done doing that, i'll be starting quilting.
