You may remember this picture above from the post Jessica wrote over a month ago when she was making baby quilts from vintage sheets. Soon after, the two of us got together and pieced a twin-size quilt for Emily's bed.
Let me tell you, I love, love, love this quilt, and I wish we had made it big enough for my bed! Well, then, poor Emily wouldn't have a quilt for her bed, so it's best that it's only twin-sized. :)
I have a wonderful neighbor-friend who has a long-arm quilting machine, and today she finished quilting the top for me. The quilting is absolutely beautiful! Debbie does fabulous work, and I recommend her highly if you ever need some quilting done. Debbie has another quilt top of mine that she plans to quilt soon--I'll post pictures of it when I get it back.
Now, all that is left to finish Emily's quilt is to bind the edges. Hopefully I'll start and complete the binding tomorrow, and then I'll be back with more pictures.
What do you think? Should I keep collecting vintage sheets so that I can make one for my own bed, or is one vintage sheet quilt enough? :)

The quilt is really sweet. I love it too. Let's flip a coin for it.
ReplyDeleteI made a Vogue 1944 dress if you'd like to come take a look.
It's so pretty! I don't think one is enough.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Since it's kind of like a scrap quilt and looks like you don't need a specific amount of any one fabric, you could just keep collecting vintage sheets and make one after another... :-)
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty. It will look beautiful on her bed.
ReplyDeleteI say keep collecting vintage sheets. That would look pretty in a queen size too.
it turned out so pretty, I love vintage sheet quilts! I have 6 rows until I finish the one I am working on:)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! And of course you must have one too! Definately makes me want one also.

Lovely! I have a stash of vintage sheets, too, and can't wait to make a quilt. I've been stalled for quite a while, but I think I love the simplicity of your squares. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful - I want one too!
ReplyDeleteOne is never enough! I have vintage sheets stashed for at least 2 quilts!!! It's great you have someone to quilt for you!
