I agree with Iceblossom, just because the cost of the fabric is cheaper doesn't necessarily mean the fabric itself is cheaply made and won't last. I've use sheets, and wide muslin all the time and they haven't fallen apart yet. Of course, we don't want to spend time, a lot of money and energy on a quilt that will fall apart, but I see nothing wrong with getting the fabric on sale or by the bolt to get a better price, so that you're not spending boo coo bucks making quilts that are going to be donated, and for the fact that you don't even know if they'll be appreciated and taken care of. I'm sure that the people who make charity quilts don't make them to fall apart and use ugly fabrics, just because the fabric is cheap, we all make them for someone to love, whom we don't even know, just to let them know that someone cares.
