Generally speaking, if a charity group hands out fabric and/ or supplies, isn't it expecting to get a,quilt back.?
if one wants to make an item for personal use, some of the ideas listed for someone starting out with little or no extra money and limited access to transportation seem unrealistic to me.
one can make a quilt that will hold together with just a needle and thread..
I have not come across that many " treasure troves" the past few years. Most of the clothing I have seen at yard sales would not be suitable to use as " a quilting cotton" to disassemble. Have not seen that many sewing machines, either.
If you read through this forum, ther are people who seem to have more fabric than a quilt fabric store. There are others who acquire fabric strictly for one project at a time.and qet rid of any leftover fsbric.
Knowing what I do now, it would still be challenging for me to start over with the basics. There is so much to choose from.
