Several years ago I bought two tied quilts from a Mennonite retirement home, made by the ladies there. Both had sheets for backs and were bound by bringing the backs over to the front. I got a pink one and a blue one for my two grandkids. They have been used and washed many times and still look great. I plan on using a sheet for the back of my next quilt which has an Italian themed print and I plan to tie it too. Hope it turns out as will as theirs did!
