Groovy Triangles Vintage Sheet Quilt

Something you may not know about me is that I love looking for treasures in thrift shops and garage sales. If you're willing to spend a little time hunting, you can find some really neat items at a great price! Recently I've been thrifting a lot of picture frames, but I also can't pass up fun vintage sheets! This quilt was made from about 8 different vintage sheet patterns. To keep it from getting too busy, I alternated each print triangle with a solid white triangle (kona snow).
The back is a solid vintage sheet in colorful stripes.
I opted for simple in-the-ditch quilting along the diagonals - not fancy, but it lets the fabrics take center stage!
And finished with a machine-sewn binding.

  2. Very pretty. I like the slightly crinkly look even though I'm sure the sheets had been washed hundreds of times ; )
