Lots of pictures of this one! Here it is my vintage sheet quilt using the pattern, "Sparkling Cider" by All Washed Up quilts. Completely made with vintage sheets, including the back and binding. This quilt measures 65" x 85". I free motion quilted it with loopy loops and I love it. This is a really nice size for throwing on a double bed or snuggling on the couch. It is wonderfully soft. Husband thinks it should be a gift for a little old lady who can use it on her bed and drink lots of tea under it. But I am going to keep it for me. He will probably make some remarks about me being an old lady. : )
I have to give credit to Jen at
In Colour Order because she totally inspired me to make this quilt with vintage sheets and using this pattern when she blogged about the quilt she made with this pattern.
I kept the colours to more of the pinks and yellows with a bit of green. I am going to make another one in just blues and purples because it is just so much fun. Vintage sheets are great!
Today I am going to link up with
