I used a cotton sheet for the back on my first quilt, and will be using one for my current one...and planning on a flannel one for my next quilt...can't see why you couldn't use it in the quilt top...?

This debate over whether or not to use sheets has been going on for years. Do you think our ancesters ever thought of it, they used what they had, and their stuff was (is) absolutely beautiful. My grandma(bless her heart) always used sheets, she always bought a bunch when there was a white sale, she used the patterned ones, though. I don't use sheets, but I know a lot of people who do, and their quilts are gorgeous.

I purchased 2 sheets in the past several months. Twin size and a queen size. Thread count is wonderful,definitely pre-wash- but they will hold up for years from what I have read.
They are a breese to sew with, not to mention there are some fabulous prints now.
