Check your local children's hospital for organizations that create quilts for kids. They may have a local source for you. There are also mill end shops that sell end runs. If you can get a sales tax licensce you can purchase from places like Choice Fabrics in Springfield, TN. (It was simply filling out a form.)

Good luck.
P.S. Beware that "sale" prices do not always mean good quality. If you are shopping online you may want to ask for a sample first.
