Last week I received my FQ's from Jennifer's vintage sheet swap! They came at the perfect time - I checked the mail at the end of a bit of a cranky day, and these totally made me smile.
I've been admiring vintage sheet quilts all over blogland (most recently Allison's) and I'm determined to make one of our very own. And now I have these beauties to add to the mix.
I was also excited to get a few more yellows to add to the mix. I am very short on yellows. Also some great bigger prints. EEeee! I'm excited!
After cutting up my own stash, I have a couple of little bundles I'm going to put in my etsy shop, if you're so inclined to make your own vintage sheet quilt.
I'm on the hunt for a few more greens, so if anyone is up for a mini-swap, let me know!

Pretty Cool Swap! I have yet to start looking for Vintage Sheets but, I sure would like to collect some of them.

I'm totally new to this whole vintage sheet thing but I think I'm a total goner now. I LOVE those prints and those colors. Where on earth does one even start with trying to find vintage sheets?? Any tips on working with them?
