Rummage sales, late in the day (when you can stuff a bag for a dollar!), and yes Goodwill. We have two Goodwill Outlet stores locally, where they sell the clothes for $1.50 a pound. I pick through and find the nice 100% cotton shirts, then take off the buttons and cut them up. I have plenty of nice button sets from those shirts, as I do make shirts sometimes for myself and hubby.
You can find the stores in your state here:

Sorry to hijack the Topaz thread, but perhaps some others are looking for nice cotton fabrics to reclaim?
I did not use any reclaimed fabrics in my Boom swap blocks.
