often I will look through the bed linnen section of shopping stores and see what type of patterns and designs are available in sheets and quilt covers that are made of cotton, I have often found some great finds to use in my quilting projects especially when they are half price.

What a great idea.

thanks Nadine i liked the scriptures they were encouraging often when i am quilting and i take a short cut i stop and think God is watching do it again correctly.

Me too. I know He's always with me.

Great idea!

fab idea, would make good backs for quilts too.

I found a 100% curtain panel at Walmart marked down to $2. It was perfect for a utility quilt backing. I bought one of each color. The fabric feels like fabric right off the bolt. Also the curtain panels are great for recovering ironing surfaces, making throw pillows, tote bags, dog beds, and so forth.

Taking notes, keep them coming. :thumbup:

A couple years back, I was at Walmart, and they had large table cloths marked down to $2 a piece. I bought all they had and made all the curtains for my living room (three windows) and a chair and footstool cover. They were made of a heavy cotton and are still holding up strong to this day.

Thanks for the great idea!
