Vintage Vibe

18 Mar

If you’ve been around a while you may well be aware of my love of vintage sheets and the fact that I held an extensive collection; over the years I have been selling off pieces through my Etsy shop and for the last 18 months or so I have found very little to add to my collection so it has dwindled considerably.  However I do keep all the scraps from cutting charms and fat quarters and at the moment I have 2 large ‘charity bags’ full of scraps:

I’ve been using them to make half hexies; the pieces needed are just 2.5″ wide x 5.5″.

I’ve made 550 half hexies and I finished piecing it into a quilt top last Saturday at the South West MQG meeting:

But I still have a huge amount of scraps left!  On Sunday I picked out a vintage sheet from my collection and basted the quilt top; I’m now hand quilting each hexie:
