Yesterday-I started this little quilt/hap, and this morning-I finished it.
I just love the look of "vintage" floral sheets and I think they make a lovely baby girl quilt/hap. I don't think I'll ever use anything else ever again. I used 6 rows of 5 (6 inch) squares.
I cut two pieces of soft flannel and used one for the center and one for the backing. So this is fairly thin, but I really like the feel of it. Then I knotted it in the corners of each square with embroidery floss. The binding is "vintage" floral sheet too. I used the french fold method for binding-Ooh, la, la!
If I was more ambitious, I'd make one of these for my bed.☺
And please note: I strung a clothesline between two poles on my deck. I love the look of "clothes hanging on the line". Just look at that beauty blowin' in the wind. (Yes, the answer my friend is blowin' in the wind, the answer is blowin' in the wind.)
And now I think a storm's blowing in. I better go get that beauty off the line!

That quilt is beautiful. I love the vintage fabric and that pink is delicious. Nice work!
You are so talented!
Oh, that is So, SO pretty. I wish more than anything I could quilt. I'm a visual, hands-n learner, however, so I need to find someone nearby to give me lessons!
Its beautiful and you are very talented (and speedy too)
I think it makes a lot more sense to re purpose rather than spend a fortune and make.
Its a lot more fun when you are being thrifty
Thank you! If I can do it, anybody can. Believe me.☺
makes me want to have another baby girl!!
Well-maybe you should-I'll give it to you if you do. Kay?
love vintage sheets, your quilt is lovely!
and yes, clotheslines *sigh* : )
Thanks, Gardenmama.
You have a beautiful blog, by the way.☺
This is beautiful, Holly. I love the look of the vintage sheets alot. This would make a nice bed quilt. My bed is a king but higher so traditional king quilts are still way too small. This would be perfect. And it will last longer too because of the sheets. It's a good thing as Martha would say. Love it!!!!
