Have you thought about using a bed sheet to back your quilt?
Don't!!!
Sheets have a high thread count, which forces your quilting needle to break the sheet's threads as it pierces through. This leaves holes in your backing and diminishes the stability of your sheet.
Quilting fabric has a looser weave, which allows your needle to easily slide between the threads and keeps your backing fabric intact.
