Check out a Bonnie Hunter book or her website. She uses shirts and old clothes for some wonderful scrappy quilts. When I started out, I became a wonderful coupon person. I rarely let a coupon go by and even signed my husband up for the ads to be mailed in his name. As long as the coupons don't have the same number along the bottom, you can use as many as you want at J's. Of course now, I am totally spoiled for quilt store fabric and use their sales to supplement my stash.
