No, I used it on one and it piled so badly it was no good. Was expensive also.

One of the members on here sent me 2 boxes of 2 1/2 inch strips that had been cut crooked. She had been given them by someone else who had gotten them from someone else. I thought maybe a quilt shop owner? Anyways I made a clothesline small rug out of the blue colors, a small rag rug out of a bunch and am making a large one out of the remainder. I ran out of strips so found a sheet for 2 dollars at Boys Club and this one is pinks and whites. It is coming out so pretty. But now I need to look around and am trying to be more aware of what I can recycle........it is catching.LOL so keep up the reusing friends. lots of good ideas on here.

I have used old denim to make grocery bags to reuse. We have had our bags for 30 years and only 1 has had to be repaired. I use old baby blankets to line potholders. Table cloths have become backings for charity quilts (my quilt group used to make "burnout" quilts; that is, when people's homes burned and they needed furnishings quickly.

In Texas where we winter, there are several ROPA USADA's
(translated: Used Clothing) The buildings (warehouse) usually have piles of clothing, sheets, blankets, new fabric, jeans, clothing with the store tags still on. You just have to dig thru. The piles are 8 to 10 feet high. They sell by the pound. If you wear your park badge 20 cents a pound otherwise 30 cents a pound. WE look for a pillow case in the stack and start shopping

Wow.......can you bring your own pillowcase? Or 2 or 3?

Bed skirts have a lot of fabric. If the center is thin fabric it makes a good foundation for strip quilts.

Yes. I have a Laundry bag that I usually keep handy. So when anybody posts a shopping trip I'm ready.

Where can you "get them for next to nothing"??
'cuz I've seen several that do indeed use neat fabric and have thought they'd be great for quilting! :D Thanks.

I cut them up and use them for the insides of pads for dog crates. The one I got at a yard sale was real thick.

You all just gave me an idea too. I found some matress covers in the thrift store. I grabbed them thinking it looked like real stiff batting. I was wondering what I was going to do with them and I have some tops I got off ebay made from mens suiting I was going to tie these anyway. I think these will make good batting for them.

I would never have thought that use of the middle in a million years
