Another cheat i do,,, (please don't judge...heheheh).... most of my quilts are for fun and spontaneous gifts... (you like that.... it's yours)..... so i sometimes use "sheets" for my backings... they work for what i need...EVERYTHING i make is to be "used and used up"... so it works for me... just wanted to share this idea incase there are any other.... "crazy ladies like me out there"....
I make stuff to be used to - I don't want to give something away and have it stored away. I'll post a pic of the table runner when I get it finished....it's bright LOL. I'm a lot like you if someone comes in and falls in love with it I'll give it to them right off my table. My grandma used to use those thin flannel blankets (the ones from the 50's & 60's for backings) and she always tied her quilts.
