I'm hooked on looking for linen in thrift stores. Probably easier to find down here in the South but still fun. I've made several linen quilts from men's shirts and weirdly women's capris. I watch Catbird Quilts on youtube. She has some great advice. I have even found a linen shower curtain. I pay up to $7 for a man's shirt and don't go smaller than an XL.
