Sheets are my new favorite. I went to the thrift store (the day before this thread popped up actually, so I have been reading it closely) and I got some really pretty, really soft sheets to use as backs for my quilts. There is one that is pretty heavy, so it may have a high thread count, so I will be careful using that one, but all the others are so soft and yummy I just want to curl up under them!! I was able to get 6 sheets ranging from Twin to King in all kinds of patterns, for $25.
Also, thanks to the person who suggested that Target King size sheets are like Kona. I am ALWAYS lacking in the solids department as for some reason no one around me carries Kona. This is a great option for both the top and back of a quilt for solids!! I will be keeping an eye on sales and clearances from now on!!
Cheers!
