Love the quilt , great find, those who don't yard sale are missing out, I found 15 hardback quilt books recently paid less than $2.00 for each, also found several real nice top sheets to use for backing I like recycling old clothes and any other item that i can think of a use for.

Sewbaby, that's exactly as I feel. I hardly ever pay more than $1 to $3 for backings (sheets). I find nice quilting fabric at thrift stores and have used men's shirts, ladies skirts etc. many times. That's not to say I don't buy any retail fabric, but always on sale. I almost always make scrappy quilts so it's easy to use all those fabrics that were originally paid for by other quilters. I won't ever run out of fabric.
