Some of the fabrics I've bought as other items----------with generous use of a seam ripper!
First pic is blue/brown sheet set about a dollar.
bird fabric was curtains, somewhat faded but too cute to leave behind. @$1
Stripe is a sheet set--used but will make a decent back for a charity quilt.
Second is a blue plaid sheet set, the print is the $2 Dan River sheet that is now a summer dress and this is the leftover.
Pink is someone's attempt at curtains. I've got almost a bag full--$3
The third is the $2 sheet I recently bought at Goodwill. Brand new. Pink and roses aren't my favorites, but this was too good to pass up.

That is so funny you aren't hot on the pink and roses and that is my favorite one. The birds are pretty great too. I use fabric like that also.. sometimes there is a pretty neat patterned tropical shirt I wouldnt be caught dead wearing but works marvelously for other fabric projects. Or a western shirt? you can find fabrics that you can't buy in the store .. its nice to reuse things like that.
