Two charm packs are perfect for making a baby quilt or lap quilt. I made this one was made using Dream On.
I like simple patchwork and simple quilting. It's timeless.
When I found this vintage sheet at the thrift store a few weeks ago, I knew it would be perfect as the backing for this quilt.
I used the new thread I bought at Country Stitchin' last weekend. It's YLI Variations and the color is Meadow. Very nice thread!
Up next is this Nine Patch. I began to quilt it yesterday, but didn't like how it was going. I'll be spending part of today ripping out the stitches and starting over. =)
Both pieces look great. That vintage sheet is perfect!

I love your fabrics! And I love vintage, shabby chic style sheets. I pick them up at thrift stores when I can. Are they harder to quilt through, though? Quilt books try to discourage using sheets for backings. What is your experience, Amy?
ReplyDeleteyou're right the vintage sheet is perfect for that quilt! I envy you, can't make simple quilt... alway want to challenge myself! hiihi.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I like the baby quilt made with the Dream On fabrics. The sheet fits the quilt perfectly. What a lucky find! Thumbs up on the bright colors in your nine patch.
ReplyDeleteAmy~
ReplyDeleteThe Dream ON is truly so sweet & love the vintage sheet backing! And the quilting is perfect!!
Hope you have a better time with your nine patch. There is nothing more frustrating than that! I'd say pop in a good old movie, settle in and rip away! Look forward to seeing how you finish it!
Oh, my, they look amazing! Yes,the sheet is perfect!
