I love your enthusiasm . My very first quilt was made from a sheet and leftover Christmas prints that I had used for other crafting. I buy fabric and remnants where ever I can find them, and I love using sheets for backing. I made my grand son a rag quilt from his receiving blankets (but that is a different story). I have totes of my grand kids clothes in the basement that I am going to go through, and cut some of them up to make them quilts out of. There is nothing wrong with being frugal. I am very much like that when it comes to spending on myself. The easy way I can think of for you to upload pics that you are taking from your phone, is to email them to yourself. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
