Sewbaby, that's exactly as I feel. I hardly ever pay more than $1 to $3 for backings (sheets). I find nice quilting fabric at thrift stores and have used men's shirts, ladies skirts etc. many times. That's not to say I don't buy any retail fabric, but always on sale. I almost always make scrappy quilts so it's easy to use all those fabrics that were originally paid for by other quilters. I won't ever run out of fabric.
