Thank you, mhollifiel, I have been timid about sharing too openly that I use recycled sheets. I buy my sheets for $1 and read the fiber content when I buy them. I decided that I would be more open about what I do. I enjoy making quilts out of recycled fabric for environmental, cost and creative reasons. I know I will catch a little flack, but as they say "each to her own." I appreciate your supportive and encouraging comment. Like you, I use new high quality batting and always have a few quilting cottons in my stash when I need them. I have the luxury of a huge stash at a very low cost and I enjoy quilting every day.
