I almost always make my quilts planned from new fabrics, but years ago my daughter asked me to make a quilt for her from all her old twin size sheets (memories). Instead of quilt batting I put another old quilt in its place, so three layers. I have been using all my scraps ever since to make this style of quilt because they are relatively easy since there is no hand quilting involved and they are way nicer than a blanket. Never thought about used clothing from thrift stores, but this web site triggered my interest. I volunteer at a thrift store where we sell everything for 15 cents and the money goes to our food pantry for the needy. What a great way to contribute to both my cause and the pantry!
