And you can purchase twin flat sheets from Walmart, 66 x 96, almost 5 yards of fabric, in a wide selection of colors, for a little over $4 each. They are 60 percent cotton, and wash up nicely.
Just a little FYI. Many longarm quilters, myself included, prefer not to quilt with sheets for backing because have a higher thread count than yard goods. The inequality affects our thread tension and our goal is to provide you the best results we can.
