Several years ago I made my daughter a quilt from pretty sheets and made curtains from the same sheets to match. She just loved it, and her room looked so pretty.

They are lovely. I bet they are going to be loved greatly!!!! Such a good way to use up old sheets.

Both are very pretty. I would have never guessed they were once sheets either.

Very pretty. Never thought about using vintage sheets, but will now.

I guess I haven't seen sheets in such pretty prints. Your quilts are lovely.

You know as soon as the thrift stores find out we're using the sheets for fabric, they'll go up on the price. It's getting harder and harder to catch a bargin. BTW, I love your quilts and your creativity using the sheets.

Definitely quite the recycler. What a wonderful idea. Now look what you've done, got me looking for other things. Both these quilts are very pretty.

Wow! Really like these quilts! Nice gifts! You'll have to post a picture of the one you're going to do for yourself!
Thanks for sharing.
