Anywhere I can find it, Craig's list, resale shops, Goodwill, estate sales, etc as well as LQS. depends on what I am making. I also have the luxury of having an aunt and adear friend that have great stashes and share with me as they have so much fabric that they say that they will never use all of it and have been collecting for years.

Connecting Threads sales are a good source of good quality fabric.

Winter flannel sheets are on sale now. Lots of fabric for the money. They can be used for backs, batting or quilt tops.

They have fabulous sales and will send you an email on Wed. and Sunday.

Many of my fabrics have come from thrift shops like Goodwill and Salvation Army. I buy 100% cotton flat sheets, any size. Some are used for backings, others for piecing as I come across some wonderful prints. The most I have paid is $2.00 per sheet. Sometimes I find a pillowcase with interesting print. At other times these stores will actually have cut fabric that someone has donated and I get it for $1.00 no matter how much there is of it. I love when that happens and if it is 100% cotton I will buy it. Blankets for batting are also very inexpensive there. But of course I check these stores just about every week. So good luck to you in your search for economical ways to quilt.

I once advertised in the wanted section of craigslist and got a pretty big bag of fabric given to me. some of it was really nice but not all of it. The stuff I didn't care for I just use for practicing my FMQ

Try burgundybuttons.com. I just purchased some jelly rolls from them and they were 25% less than another website listed above. I was happy with their fast delivery, also.

I did not ask the question, but I surely appreciate all the answers! I am on some of those mailing lists, but I will now go add myself to the others.

Whittles fabrics (online store) has great prices

I shop thrift stores for 100% cotton linens and clothing in good shape, which I then deconstruct. Sometimes I find fabric pieces too, but not often. Where there's a will there's a way. Bed ruffles are the best because they are almost always like new. They don't get wear and are rarely washed.
