I have a couple of times but not for years. Thank you for the good reminder. Have no clue why I got away from using them. Probably when I got away from quilting the whole quilt but doing quilt as you go in panels as I have to cut them up anyway but yes, they wore beautifully and never faded which is amazing when you realize how sheets can wear on the bed but then a quilt is protected by the sheets we sleep between. Thank you.
