Wow - some amazing ideas here! Some of the best ones are about reusing old clothes that you don't wear any more...might as well cut them up, right? And using an old blanket as quilt batting...I never would have considered that before. And I will definitely try using some old sheets as backing. The notes on quality are very helpful too, I didn't think about the wear and tear yet since I haven't had any of mine very long yet. This has been a really fun thread, thank you to all who have responded. I wish I could "like" some of the replies or give thumbs up to them. Maybe the forum owners will add that in the future! :D
