Its a good thing there are no Quilt Police they'd probably give me a Life Sentence because I've used a lot of sheets thru the years - for the family members who live in OK and Tx a couple flannel sheets for batting works better than even the thinnest batting.The most I've ever spent on cotton sheets was 2.99 because it was a brand new set w/pillow cases still in the package - cotton sheets are getting harder to find so when I find them I grab them they won't go to waste around here
