I think quilters will use their stashes, or go back to the way our grandmothers did things....I love to find cotton clothing at the thrift store/yard sales and use it in my quilting. I also use a lot of vintage sheet fabric. I have more reclaimed fabric than new yardage. I mix reclaimed with new and have never had an issue. Finding interesting batik blouses and reusing that fabric is so cool! Most of my backings are used sheets, daughter loves them because they are so soft.
