Echo - please don't quit posting because a few people think they can speak for the majority. EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINION!!!!! And I think your post was a very honest post with your opinions and I, for one, feel like you were just stating your opinion and asking what others opinions were. You have too much to add to this community to let a few people push you out! There are more of us that want you to stay than those who posted negativly on the other post!
For my personal opinion, I have only made a few full size quilts and have used sheets for all of them. They were 100% cotton sheets and I purchased them from a linen outlet where the original price was way over $50 for a King flat sheet and I paid $9.99. I washed it one time before using and because it was a quality sheet, it was so soft and wonderful to work with. My niece loved hers and especially the back because it was so soft!
So, in closing - as my grandmothers both used to tell me:
1. TO EACH HIS OWN
2. IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY, DON'T SAY IT!!!!
