Vintage Sheets and Prairie Points

A new stack of vintage sheets waiting to be pressed and cut into 5" squares...
and then sewn into a sweet patchwork of cotton candy confection
and prairie points to top it off.

This is a quilt top for a custom quilt I am making for a sweet customer. She requested a quilt to match the vintage bunting banner she purchased a few weeks ago.  This is going to be sandwiched with some white and natural batting, the binding is going to be a shabby pink floral and the back is going to be a cute teeny floral print on white.         

I love this so much that I want to make one for me!!

    I think you should - this is sooooo pretty ... I want one too!!! Isn't it strange how vintage fabric gives a quilt a more edgy modern feel!?! xx

    Ohhhhhh Debbie is that ever cute! I love vintage sheets. I need to shop where you do. The ones I always find are ugly. :(
    Your pink cutter is very very sweet too! I love prairie points. I have only made one quilt with them but they really add a lot to it, don't they? I bet your customer is going to be very very happy. Great job!!! :)
    Hugs,

    Oh how I adore all the vintage sheets. Reminds me of my girl-hood bedroom. I ordered some pillowcases off ebay to use. I love them.
