I just got a top twin sheet for the back of my quilt from class at walmart for $5! It matches my quilt top and will be plenty of yardage without having to seam it together. I'm so excited! The fabric content is 60% cotton 40% poly so maybe this is why everyone doesnt' do it? Untill I get more $ for fabric though this is what I will be doing :)

great idea

I did the same thing. They had the king size sheets for $5..on clearance. Probably wouldn't have bought the colors they had now a couple of years ago but....drastic times call for drastic measures. All of my quilts are made to be used and loved.

It sounds like a plan!

I do it all the time....even buy them at Goodwill if I like them and they're close to new. Where else can I get an entire quilt back for under $3???

I bought one last week to match a charity quilt I made. I was amazed at the bright fun colors they have in sheets now! Orange, teal, green, etc. Great price!

I got a denim cotton queen size designer sheet for $3.00 that I used to back a big quilt, worked out fine as I washed the sheet first and it was nice a soft.

Thats all i use for a quilt back. I even get good deals at goodwill or the salvation army stores. Quilt Quilt Quilt

Me too :thumbup: :thumbup:

Does sheets count as fabric?
I'm on a fabric diet!
