All the time. I am currently working on a baby quilt for my grandson, the basis of which is a large size, unworn, batik shirt. It has elephants on it, the rest (yellow and white) is from my stash. The only thing I purchased new was batting. Most of my quilts/waggas are made from 'found' fabrics, offcuts or items of clothing (clothes which are too 'out there' or damaged to donate to charity). I even found a use for 'high visibility yellow' from my husband's old work shirts.
