I use old clothes and scraps of material to make quilts and I use old flat sheets for the backing. You can pick up alot of these things from yard sales and flea markets. Your only real expence is the $3 or $4 for the cotton batting you use in between the quilt top and the lining. Here is what you get for around $5 or so.

Some I used my childrens old clothes to make and everytime I look at them I remember the kids wearing those. It always brings back memories. Thanks for all the nice remarks and comments.
