Vintage Sheets & Pillowcases Quilt Top



I have been enjoying the mini vacation from my series of procedures. It has been almost 4 weeks since the last one was canceled. I was able to do some things that I have been wanting to start or finish.

I am off to get another procedure today, but I thought I would share one of the quilt tops I finished piecing. I actually started this project back in July. Then, I was stuck in the design decision and had to stop.

I used some of my vintage sheets and pillow cases from my collection along with new fabrics.


Made some cuts...


I wanted a quilt with triangles, but I wasn't sure how I wanted to combine them together, that's where I got stuck. Does that happen to you sometimes?
I finally made up my mind and pieced some of them together... (why did I say "some"? Because I used the same triangles and pieced a totally different quilt too! :) )


I am in the process of quilting this right now; I will share the picture of the finished quilt in the near future.

Have a nice week everyone!

    That looks wonderful! So sweet and tea rose-y. ^_^

    Hoping you have a quick recovery from your procedure today, and that it does exactly what is needed.

    I love this! I adore vintage linens, and I'm always looking for new ways to use them. The colors are fabulous.

    What an enviable collection of vintage sheets you have Sachiko. I love using them for skirts for my young girls as they're so soft and comfy. Best wishes for a successful procedure and speedy recovery.

    I'm not thst much into vintage fabrics (although some I really like) but I do love what you have done with the sheets and pillowcases! I especially like the first quilt - did you use bias tape or something similar in that quilt? I like how it highlights the fabrics in that quilt. Thanks for sharing your work.
