I have begun cutting for my vintage sheet quilt! I am not doing anything fancy, just a simple patchwork quilt so the colors and patterns can all be seen nicely. I absolutely LOVE the sheets I got from etsy! They were all different patterns and colors, perfect for what I want this quilt to be! Since I don't want more then 6 squares of the same sheet in the quilt I was only able to get 99 squares so far and I will need about 16 more sheets to finish. In other words I will be scouring thrift stores this weekend for more! I love the hunt!
I estimated I will need about 192 for the size I am hoping for which about 60" x 80". The are 5.5" unfinished and 5" finished. I think they are going to look super pretty! Might do a small border too, but we will see how it turns out.
Sorry for the dark pics. It was about 11 at night when I finished cutting them all! The batting has been purchased so all that is left to do is collect more sheets and find a good backing and binding! This is so exciting!
