I went thru my old sewing & craft fabric. I use this for cutting strips and
making cord covered baskets. It is fine for them & they make nice gifts.
I try to buy a good cotton for quilting.

If you have the time check the fabric for thread count take a good look at the color . I have found goo fabrics both ways at a High end store and a low end store . I even go to to second hands stores andI booght real good quality fabric for way less than at either stores. especilly if you are watching your pennies.

Not having the funds for quality fabric should not be a factor. I buy quilt shop quality fabric for less at online sales/clearance then the price of WalMart's quilting cotton. There are thousands of quilt shops online. Believe me it's easy to find a bargain on any one color fabric needed at one of them when I need it. I seldom buy discount store fabric now, it's too expensive!

Interesting commets. It is a shame to have pretty fabric that you know is useless for quilting. When I find some of that in my stash, I donate it to a charity, or to someone who is learning and not going to use it for an heirloom quality quilt, for kids who are wanting to practice just sewing a seam, or for pet beds. There is a home for everything, and I don't have to be so anal about stuff I bought before I knew what I was doing!

True I will find a good use for this stuff I am sure. I did buy a Locker Hook so I can try that with the poor quality stuff.
