I've always been told that it is a "no-no" to use sheets for backing quilts. I'm guessing it is because of the tight weave. I ALWAYS use good quality fabrics for my quilt backs....just like the quilt tops. But I do hope anyone using sheets for quilt backs finds it satisfactory!

I saw today 600 count 6 piece sheet sets- any size - for $20 and thought about buying a set. King size that is a lot of fabric and includes 4 pillowcases. Has anyone used that fabric as backing? Or on your bed?

Wonder if the 200 count would be ok (or do they make those anymore)? Were these from Target 100% cotton? I have always been told to use 100% cotton on quilts? Is ths true, you quilters who have been at this a long time? When I making wall hangings I just use a solid color for the back, usually offwhite. No one sees it anyway....
