I've been collecting vintage sheets for some time now. Some of the prints are so fabulous I hate cutting in to them. Here is one that I've added a couple of borders to. Pieced the back and quilted it. I'm loving quilting these.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the colors. I also collect vintage sheets but I generally use mine to make bedspreads. The go like hotcakes so I need to start looking for more sheets.

Most of my vintage sheets I find at thrift stores. You can get lucky sometimes and find brand new sheets. You just have to keep looking.

Thank you. It's funny how many of the sheets came in different color ways with the same design. Almost like fabric lines do today. It's been fun collecting them.
