So - I can not recommend yard sales as a reliable source for fabric.
I think men's dress shirts are the best source of - what I would consider for using for quilts - fabrics at yard sales.
It still bothers me to cut up a garment that shows no signs of wear, though.
Please don't feel that way - there is SO much extra clothing in this country, ask any thrift shop. Not like good usable clothing is scarce. And all those "Planet Aid" yellow boxes that collect used clothing - most of that gets recycled, not used by other people.
I have done better at thrift shops than at garage sales.
