I haven't made a quilt for a while. I thought I might make one out of vintage sheets.I've had this one in mind for ages, to make from 1930s reproduction fabrics, but I thought it would look fab made from vintage sheets.
I don't have that many that I could bare to cut up, but you can actually buy new vintage sheet fabric. There are links on The Vintage Sheet Blog.I look in there often, they have some great ideas and tutorials. Everything is made from vintage sheets or pillow cases.
Or I could go and raid the stash of vintage pillow cases at my Dad's batch at lake Taupo. I don't think he he cares too much about the shabby chicness of the vintage pillow cases, or even knows that they're there. Maybe I'll have a wee look on the vintage sheet blog myself, and buy a few fat quarters. It's nice to be planning a quilt again.
Oh how exciting! I do like the look of that yoyo quilt very much. The planning and collecting the fabrics is such a fun part.
