I think asking others for fabric is a great idea. Once I went to a yard sale and there was some really bright fabric for sale quite cheaply. My DGD was with me and loved the fabric. When I bought it, the two ladies asked me what in the world I would ever use it for, in their opinion, it was not worth anything. But my granddaughter loved it, so what I think and what others think are two different things. Go ahead and ask, if you lived closer to me, I'd donate.
