As a beginner, I have so much to learn and I am "thankful" for all the wonderful hints offered on the Quilting Board. Making my first quilt some time ago, I wondered about using a new (washed, of course) sheet as a backing. It would be wide enough and would eliminate one or more unnecessary seams. (As it turned out, I opted for a soft flannel backing and had to piece it together.) Has anyone used or would recommend using a sheet as backing. I think 100% cotton ones are available. What do you think? :roll:
