I have made crib sheets to match baby quilts. I have not tried to make a queen size quilt.

Please share the site where you found the 233 thread count fabric .

Aw, one of the very first sewing projects I ever did was a flat sheet and pillowcases to match. Basically I sewed the same simple wide border on both the sheet and pillow cases. It felt like such a success at the time, and I used that set until they fell apart! Brings back a smile. I like the idea of a gift of a quilt, and matching sheet top/pillowcases! That just makes it extra special.

I haven't made sheets but I have used fabric scraps to make decorative pillowcases and of course made pillowshams (my favorite). Love the idea of doing the same with the top sheet. But then, quilts are expensive enough. Do I want to purchase sheets for someone too? Have to think on that a while.

That would be a great idea to have sheets to match the quilt. I have never done it but it is a wonderful idea.

I have made pillowcases out of quilt shop quality quilt fabric but they eventually wore out from use...so...no to making sheet sets. I would purchase color coordinated sheet sets. Btw...It took 15 YARDS (one bolt) to make a matching dust ruffle..... Not doing that again either. $200 to make a dust ruffle .....nah. Tho I did love the matchy match!

Has anyone ever made matching sheets to go with their quilts? I was on a fabric site this morning and they had some really beautiful, extra wide, 233 thread-count fabrics that would look great in a quilt, or just plain on the bed.

Of course, you could do the opposite...buy the sheets, plus one extra sheet to make a quilt from it.
