Finished Spring Vintage Sheet Quilt


Remember my ambitious plan - a different master bedroom quilt for every season of the year?  Well, I can check spring off the list.  This is the largest quilt I have made - I definitely felt more like a tortoise than a hare during every step of the process, but in the end it was worth it because I truly love it.  It is bright and colorful and perhaps a little crazy for a master bedroom, but exactly what I am craving right now. 



I used yellow floral for the binding and I love the outlined in sunshine effect.


  
For the back, I used strips of vintage sheets in various widths. It's a little wild, but perfect in flipped over increments.  Here's a little peak...




After waking up yesterday morning to depressingly find ourselves in a white and wintery realm once again, this quilt is color therapy!

  4. *crying* It's soooo beautiful!!!!

    also, on your dresser, do you have to sand the heck out of that thing? I had a dresser like that growing up and couldn't wait to get rid of it when I got married. My step-mom still has it. Maybe I'll take it off her hands if it's paint-able.

  9. What a gorgeous quilt! And the Kona Ash really makes the colours in the vintage sheets pop. You've got some of the same sheets that I do, but in different colours. It's so interesting to see what other people have found!

  13. Your quilt inspired me to try out the quilt pattern u used. I got some Kona ash and lily ash bury fabrics to make a spring comforter for my bed. Hopefully I get it done by the time the snow melts to enjoy it for spring.
