For a while I was collecting cotton men's shirts from rummage sales... approx. $.50 each or stuff a bag for $1 or $2... Not much money in them. I've made three quilts from those shirts and barely made a dent in all that fabric. And, I find the shirt quilts are my favorites to keep and use because they are so cozy, scrappy and cheerful. There's a LOT of fabric in a men's XL shirt! And you can always piece big squares to make a back.
