OMG, have you resorted to having to do laundry? Why not just post on here, asking for used dryer sheets?

:shock: :D , I know I have a big bag full of them for strip piecing blocks. Elaine

I use my scraps, old clothes,sheets and blankets and more for my quilts.it is so much cheaper than going and buying alot of material.

I went to DAV and Goodwill for old clothes for my next quilt, it's going to be 12 - 12" blocks of pockets for my great nephew. So I found zippered pockets, button pockets, velcro pockets etc...
