Vintage Sheet Quilt Top Complete


I finished up my vintage sheet quilt top! It is a little lap sized quilt measuring 45" square. I used an alternating pattern of snowballs and paper pieced Wedge and Circle blocks. I found the idea here.

I tried incorporating some sheets that were just given to me into the larger blocks but the pattern sort of fell apart. So I remade those blocks and used the same two sheet designs for all of the snowballs. The wedge and circle blocks incorporate bits of about nine different sheet designs.

I am mulling over the quilting. I don't think I want to do an all over design for fear that the pattern created by the solid pink (Kona Peony) won't stand out.

And here she is, the birthday girl. She is officially two today. When asked how old she is, she answers "Bigger." It makes me smile every time.

Nearly Sold Out and Piecing Update


I am just popping in for a brief update and then I will resume party preparations as a very special little girl is celebrating her second birthday this weekend. Can you believe it? My baby will be two!!
Thank you all for your amazing support of "My Happy Place" silkscreened material. I am running low on my supply at the moment. I wanted to let you know that all the material that I printed has been listed in my shop. I will print more but I can't say exactly when I will get to it.

After all, I sold out of both versions of these little goldfish a month ago and have yet to print more. I have the best of intentions but time is scarce!

I've been working at piecing my vintage sheets quilt too. I am planning on a 45" square. I may add borders but I am not sure at this point. I received a gift of a few more pieces of vintage sheets from one of my favorite sewing enablers. See that pretty yellow print and the pink floral in the center of the snowballs on the left? She sent me those and they are so sweet and a wonderful addition, allowing my quilt to be a little bit bigger than it might have been otherwise.
I hope you have been taking pictures this week so that you can join my Garden Tour this Sunday! Check out the links from last week here. Just click on the "Click here" link at the bottom of my post.
