There are so many gorgeous quilts made out of vintage sheets on Pinterest. I knew someday I wanted to make one of my own. I started collecting sheets but then kind of forgot about it. I think I collected one ;)
My sister however is a vintage collecting queen and has loads of vintage sheets. So I asked her to put some together and I would make a quilt for her. I think I had a fully completed quilt within one week of receiving them ;) I went with a simple patchwork quilt using 8″ squares (I think). I sewed long strips of squares together and then sewed those strips into a quilt top.
This is the first quilt I’ve tried hand binding! It really didn’t take long and now I’m hooked on hand binding. It’s seriously so relaxing.
This vintage sheets quilt ended up being a queen size. I said I would never do another one after the last queen size I made but it turns out it wasn’t that bad after all.
One of my favorite things about this quilt is the gorgeous backing sheet!
Hi there.
I am Meredith. I stumbled on your blog the other day when I was at the doctor’s office killing time on Pinterest. I loved your Hello Bar pop-up that is not at all annoying and does not take away from the blog itself. I immediately joined your newsletter and can’t wait to see more of your posts. Then I used your link to go get a Hello Bar for myself. I love it and think it will make a big difference. I am a self-taught quilter and love written tutorials with lots of pictures. You have that down for sure. And your photos are great and do a great job of showing off your work and your progress. I used to be a photographer but moved on for more of the making things side of creativity. Lately I have gotten so lazy and just started snapping pictures of my work with my phone. I know it REALLY HELPS to have great pictures of your work. Thanks for the reminder. It was actually one of my “New Year’s NOT RESOLUTIONS” I blogged about before I even fell in love with your blog. Want proof, here’s the link. http://scrapstashstudio.blogspot.com/2016/01/16-not-resolutions-for.html Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work.
