Thank you so much for dicussing this topic! I can see $savings$ written all over my next quilt! :o)
I have never used a sheet-i like my back to either be a fabric that is in the top or coordinate with the theme o the quilt. I never have a center seam though- i either piece it horizontally or have two vertical seams in the quilt. i've also pieced the back if necessary (ie fabric shortage)
