I used to go to fabric stores (of all kinds) and asked for the remnants department -- the place where they have roll-ends, and random pieces of fabric.

You can find some really great stuff, usually new, for a few cents on the dollar (usually) since it may be in an irregular shape, or have a bit of off-color margin or stains showing. The slightly off color parts usually don't bother, any way, since it tends to go very soft as you look at your set up. I've bought yards and yards of new stuff for very little money this way.
