Kudos to Faintly Artistic and all the people who re-purpose good used items! I seldom use anything else. I go to my Saver's store on tag clearance day (Monday here) and buy beautiful sheets for 99 cents. I can buy 100% cotton sheets because almost all sheets have a tag on them listing fiber content. My favorites are Egyptian cotton. Sometimes I find bundles of new fabric there too. I can quilt all I want without breaking the bank! I use starch when I quilt, so the fabrics work up like new fabrics. Yes, there are times when I pick up some bright print to accentuate my re-purposed fabrics, but I get some gorgeous colors and PRINTS that no one would ever guess came from sheets. My grandmothers both quilted using scraps and hand-me-downs and those quilts are coming close to being 100 years old. My grandmothers' quilts stand as proof that used fabrics do last.
