First let me just say, thank you! to all of you who went and wished my Mom a happy birthday yesterday~ she was so surprised! :-)) It isn't very often I can actually surprise her, so double thanks!! ;-)) LOL
And why am I whooping it up here? It's off of the floor!~ I mean 'design wall'. ;-) Whoohoo! my vintage sheets are now a quilt top! I'm not sure when I'll be able to get it quilted, but hopefully in the next few months. :-) If you just found found me~ my collection started with a vintage sheet swap last year. I drew up the pattern in EQ6 but could not figure out how to make a setting with sashings, but not cornerstones~ so I mostly just flew by the seat of my pants. :-o ;-)) I added in the green and pink sashings because I have the cutest pink, green and white stripe for bias binding. ;-) The sashing fabrics actually have tiny polka dots in them. :-) My photo really doesn't do the top justice... I had to take it in the shade, because in the sun the white was too washed out. The colors of the sheets are pretty true, but the white needs to be white. ;-) I tried to lighten it in my photo program in the bottom photo. I think they are clickable for a larger image.
sigh~ I'm really happy to have this one together. It is a biggie~ 91 x 102. :-) I think I am going to use some of the leftover triangles for pillow shams... we'll see how that goes. ;-)
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
