			<description><![CDATA[:lol: the first time I used a sheet as quilt backing was because I had saved one of my children's daintily flowered flat sheet (44 yrs old), just for memory sake....I decided to use it as a backing on a small hexagon "grandma's garden" tablecloth..... .the sheet was soft, and well used over the years. I couldn't have asked for a nicer way to preserve the sheet instead of it being tucked away in a trunk or on a shelf. A flat sheet is my backing choice now, not only for the elimination of piecing, but also dollar-wise.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[When I finish the top, I buy a sheet to go with it, for the back. I cut the hems off, because the needle holes still show if I take them out. Needle holes may show if something needs to be done over, too.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have used a sheet for backing a couple of times. One was for a quilt for the bed in our travel trailer, it was easy to quilt, has held up fantastic. I wouldn't use one for an heirloom quilt, or a prized gift for someone, but for everyday quilts I see no reason not to. :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Depending on my project, I have used sheets for backing for some time. I find I do not tell a lot of other quilters I do this, for the looks that I receive. But it makes perfect sense in today's economy. Way to go and thank you for backing up, people like me.]]></description>
