How many read Wal*Mart's ad in Sunday's paper? For $7.00 a 3 pc. set, you can buy Microfiber sheets in bright colors/or striped. Flat sheets make great backings for quilts.

Thanks for the info.....I'll have to check them out and see how they feel.....hope they have some left when I get to town.

I thought I read somewhere not to use sheets for quilt backings???? I used flannel ones for some jean quilts I did.

I got a set of microfiber sheets at the home show here in Knoxville. I'm not totally sold on them. Sorta slicky. But some may like them.

Thanks, Great Idea...

great idea !! thanks! :-)

I went there night and did see them...I was just ok with hem...I didn't like the texture as much...However, the blankies are GREAT....They are having a terrific sale on just about everything you need for college kiddos, or your other young ones.....deanna

Thanks! I have a son going to college and I want to do his room. Great idea.

I once got flannel sheet sets on sale at Target & just used the last one for quilt backing. Remember when you could buy sheets separately & we used them for decorating? I made curtains & covers, even a bathrobe out of them. Lots of fabric there

I sure miss the seperates too....you could do so much with them.

Thanks that's a great idea, never thought of it. Arlene

they go really fast tho because, even tho college doesn't start back up for another month-people snap um up for the dorms and at that price-it's a steal.

Or use it for curtains or anything for that matter. It is cheap fabric.
