I have been collecting vintage sheets like everyone else these days. I finally made a quilt out of some of them. I wanted something to practice with on the quilting frame. I have not used it that much and sometimes just practice on a sheet or piece of fabric doesn't do it. So I made this quilt and figured if I messed it up it wouldn't matter. I so love how this quilt came out. Not all the sheets in there are vintage but most of them. It is so nice and soft and cuddlie (not a word I guess but it works). I put a sheet on the back too, not vintage but a nice soft cotton sheet. I am so sold on the idea of making quilts out of sheets. I hope to make another one in the near future. I am also getting some Un-done projects DONE! I have a few more to go then I will start another sheet quilt I think. Oh who am I kidding I will have 4 or 5 going before I know it. How about you? Ever made a quilt out of sheets?

Beautiful! I have never made a complete quilt out of sheets, but I have used sheets for the backing. Currently, I am making a comforter for a customer using plain sheets and I am appliqueing a simple design on for her, per her request. It has got me to thinking about using sheets to do some future quilts though!
I love this quilt! I bet it is soft and snuggly.
Oh that looks so soft and comfy. Love the soft colors.
Only sheets I have used in quilts is for backing.
