Big Hugs, Echo! (((HUGS))) I learned a lot from the thread you started. I kind of skip over posts that are snippy or defensive. I had heard of people using sheets for backing but had not thought to try it myself. Now I know why some like to use them and some don't. I always like to pick each fabric (including backing) for my quilts, but I like to make patch quilts and string quilts and will consider using sheets to back those... So, here's one who learned a lot from the thread....
