April's mini

Here's April's Mini Quilt for Crystal. As most of you know I love Vintage Sheets. So I gathered a bunch of scraps and made this little string quilt. 

 It measures 18"x18"

Here's the back. I love this print!

We had some real nice weather here and I was excited to work with the vintage sheets again. Now, of course, we have horrible, raining, dreary weather and it's put a damper on my quilting. I actually did some sewing last weekend but I'm now at a standstill since I need to do my basting outside and it's all rainy! Hopefully it clears up soon, because I'm excited to show you the other stuff I've made!

Vintage Baby!

 I participated in the Flickr's Vintage sheet swap a while ago. (well right before I moved) Anyway, I sent 80 fat quarters and got 80 back! I've been chomping at the bit to make some vintage sheet quilts so FINALLY I whipped up a baby quilt. I plan on making A LOT more of these (especially since I have SO MANY vintage sheet fqs)! I'd like to have one for each bed in the house for the summer months.

This one is going to a fellow Navy wife here in Point Mugu who's daughter is turning one. I had lots of fun going through some of my fat quarters and picking out some bright, cheery prints for a one year old girl. This measures 46"x46" and is backed with some IKEA fabric.
