Never made a quilt top from sheets but I often use them for backing, especially on charity or family quilts. I like to find old flannel sheets to use, they are preshrunk and so soft.

I have never seen one done with sheets, but a girlfriend made one with recieving blankets very simular to this one, and it is the softest, sweetest blanket I have ever felt.

I still haven't been able to bring up pictures...just learned how to share them on email!!!
