Inexpensive Fabric Sources for Quilters & Fabric Artists

For many quilting and fabric art projects, we don’t need the most expensive fabric. Odds and ends from various souces will suffice. Also, you may find some very nice fabric as you accumulate it from your non-traditional sources.
At Quilted Paradise, I found an article about Fabric Finds for the Frugal Quilter which contains some very good ideas for acquiring fabric for your projects. Mentioned here:
Bandanas
Neckties
Thrift Stores
Garage Sales
Yard, garage and church sales
My daughter and I’ve found many fun fabrics and embellishments from these sources over the years. Let your creativity soar and you’ll discover many interesting ways to use items found this way.
Many of the fabrics you find from the above souces can be used for scrap quilts.
