I second that. I have just bought a heavily discounted set of queen sheets and hope to make two child sized quilts with them (and each will have a matching pillow!). I'll do applique from my ample stash of scraps.
Not too sure if the sheet fabric is "right", but hey, its a nice colour and the kids won't mind if the thread count is off!
Earlier in the year I got a next to new queen sized flat sheet that had roses on it for $2 at GoodWill. We ended up making 2 personal sized blankets and 2 baby blankets out of one sheet.
Just the other day I got a brand new set of sheets at an auction. Plus 2 shams, and 4 pillowcases. A cute springy print that included strawberries. The flat sheet will be a house dress/summer gown. Don't know about the pillowcases yet.
Oh, and also a yellow/gold print reg. size sheet set.
