    Default Vintage sheet quilt

    This is a quilt that I just finished, its actually more vintage pillow cases than sheets. I straight line quilted it and just love the texture that the quilting gave it.

    I bought a few sheets second hand and lots of pillow cases, I have pieced a second top from rectangles and have enough leftover to make another smaller quilt.

    I think I could quite happily make quilts forever from just sheets and men's shirts!

    Nicely done. Light but very colorful. You done great with the sheets & pillowcases. I use lots of sheets in my quilts too.

    I think I grew up using some of those sheets! Love how you put them all together. I would never have thought of using vintage sheets in this way. Good job!

    That is really pretty and it looks soft and "cuddly".
