Absolutely, go for it. The prices I paid for those scrubs in a uniform shop - WOW,- put them to good use. Great idea

Not memory quilts, but I'm making an ice cream cone one from mainly scrubs. They have the most yummy colors and are nice and washable, and they are colorfast.
The scrubs keep showing up in garage sales and flea markets often because we have a big hospital around here.
I think you could make a lovely, long lasting quilt from them, they are part poly and wash well and sew easily.

Lots of scrubs are part poly and just about all the pants are, but my tops are 100% cotton. I just got too hot wearing anything with polyester in it, even small amounts. It reminds me of the solids we had years back at the fabric stores, I think they called them polisehed apple solids? Does that ring a bell with anyone?

Sounds like a great idea to me.

Terrific idea. Try Bonnie Hunter's site. She is good for scrap quilts.

We make photo quilts for people and use clothes that were special in some way. The work just fine. I would think they are all mostly the same weight of fabric which would make it even easier.
