I never really thought about this until awhile back I was at Goodwill and remembered the Hawaiin quilt my Aunt made. Oh my gosh it was gorgeous. She bought a bunch of Mens hawaiin shirts,
Then recently my son found a Ninja Turtle sheet. Not sure what he's using it for but I'm hoping to find anything with SHREK! I love the big guy :D

What fun! The only caution is to be sure the fabric in the clothes still have wear in them and aren't too thin or are not made well enough to last through a quilt's years of use.
Enjoy your new source of fabric!!!
