Can you tell me if you used a pattern for the flea market star quilt that it looks like you gave away a few months ago. I would love to make one for a new grandchild.

I had a longarm quilter quilt a queen-sized quilt for my parents, and the back of that was from a duvet cover. Come to think of it, I've had a king-sized quilt done on a longarm too, and its back was made from another duvet cover. Same type of material as sheets, and neither longarm quilter said anything. The one I warned in advance said it was no problem -- she gushed over the gorgeous pattern on the fabric. I find vintage sheets have wonderful patterns that fit right in with the modern patterns being made these days. I've also cut up sheets and pillow covers to make picnic quilts (with backs made of recycled jeans and other denim clothing -- the unpicked seams and darts leave fascinating designs on the denim fabric), and never had a problem quilting those on my rinky-dink sewing machine. I wonder if the no-sheet warnings come from the makers of pricey quilting fabric. Up here in Canada, I've seen stuff priced at $18.99 a metre that you Americans pay $8 per yard for. Our metre is only a bit bigger than a yard. I regularly use sheets for quilt backs when I quilt them myself.
