I've had sheets that I received for wedding gifts that lasted for 20+ years with regular use. If you want a quilt to be durable and loved and used, by all means go with a sheet for backing. If you want a quilt to hang on exhibit and only be admired and judged, be a purist and stick to fancy quilt fabrics.

I also use sheets as I hate to piece the backing. The looser the weave the easier it is to quilt so I stay away from the high thread count sheets. I recently bought several from Fred Meyers and they were darling....polka dots, animal prints, etc and only $5 each.

Nah, sheets don't count as fabric because they are sold in the Linen Department. Fabric is sold in the Fabric Department :lol: :lol:

How generous and considerate of the quilt shop! That certainly is spreading good will to her/his customers :-D
