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!!
