I ran across this quilt on Etsy, created from vintage sheets. I just love the vibrant colors of this one.

I have a few vintage sheets but not enough to create a quilt this fun. Has any one here made a quilt from vintage sheets?

I bet it would be so soft.

I made a top from vintage sheets in a diamond pattern. I still need to quilt it.
I don't think I have any pictures.

I love the simplicity of that quilt. I have several vintage sheets and have been looking for other patterns to use for them.

Gorgeous quilt! Don't know about it being soft, however, these fabrics look like 60's-70's the height of polyester percale sheets! Should wear like iron.

That's pretty cool! I bet you can find vintage sheets at the thrift stores.

Not "vintage" but I just got 2 brilliantly colored sheets from my local thrift store. One was Tommy Hilfinger?, a bright red one, the other a rich, deep green. Love both of them, and they will become stripes of color around another of those darn ice cream quilts with different colors of ice cream. I still haven't been able to bring up pictures...just learned how to share them on email!!!
