Me, too. My poly blend quilts have held their color better than cotton and have worn longer. I prefer poly blend sheets because they don't wrinkle. The 600 count cotton sheets I paid high dollar for were a nightmare--they really needed to be ironed--and I gave them to someone who said she liked them well enough to iron them. I've never used sheets for backing, but that's a good idea because I hate making the backs!
