Vintage Sheet Fabric
#1
I'm trolling around Etsy and find in the vintage section a lot of postings of fat quarters cut from vintage sheets. What do you think of buying such for use in a quilt? I'm new to this and have plans to use some old treasured clothing in future quilts but something in me is reluctant to buy these...even though some of the prints are just lovely.

I was wondering about a similar thing I saw on Ebay. Someone was selling cut up pieces of vintage candlewick bedspreads. If it were really cheap, it may be worth the risk, but some people's idea of useable is not another's.

The posting shows it as just 7:30 PM but I think the board must be on California time because it was 10:30 at my house when I made the post ;-) so you are quite forgiven Okie for the typo!
Sometimes I get on this board and just can't stop, regardless of the clock or having to go to work in the morning ;-)
Thanks so much y'all. I knew I could count on this board for measured opinions about this.
