You will NOT get kicked off for suggesting sheets as quilt backings 8-) LOL ...
I totally agree .... too much shrinkage, and waaayyyy too much money! Sheets are not recommended for hand quilting, but I have read a thread here where the gal said it didn't seem to be a big deal trying to hand quilt through sheets as backing.
So, there is a heads up about sheets - - pretty hard to do if you are hand quilting ...
other than that, they are well-priced for what you are wanting to do, and by golly! Seems to be a more efficient use of our $$ resources, if for no other reason <wave>
