Don't forget pillowcases! Here are two pairs that I bought for under £1 for both:
When unpicked you get 2 yards of 70" wide fabric :shock: Each one is 18" wide, and I got
14 yep 14 yards of binding from just one.
There is no reason why you can't use them for quilts, front and back, I use bedding, poly or cotton, a lot for my Project Linus quilts as the material is designed and manufactured for laundering and with kiddiwinks quilts they do get a lot more washing than others.
Ask all your friends etc; to go through their linen cupboards for any spare pillowcases and sheets, you might get a lovely surprise.
BTW do make sure that they are in good condition as worn or pilled sheets are not worth using, best of luck.
Thank you for your suggestion.
