Thank you all
I rip off the header , bottom and sides. This (almost always) squares the backing making it easy to load on my Tin Lizzie frame. Sheets are not always hemmed evenly with the grain of the fabric. I haven't had a problem with them being big enough, I just estimate the size sheet needed for the top I'm quilting.
