I have us sheet for the back. I have used them for strips when I can't find a fabric at the fabric store. No probems at all. Katherine

Used sheets might be a fun and inexpensive way to play with dyes they have on the market now also, then use them for quilt backings. I may have to try this.

I should maybe learn to type better. LOL
