I just finished up this quilt top. I really, really like it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet... it isn't for anyone in particular. I could donate it, there are a couple different options that I'm aware of right now for that. Or maybe I'll just keep it. I don't feel like I made much of a dent in my stack of vintage sheet fat quarters, so I think I'm going to try some other ideas with these fabrics soon.
I'm almost ready to start quilting my watercolor quilt--just need to go buy thread. I ended up going with pin basting, what can I say, I was afraid to try something new (spray basting or fusing) with this particular project. I'm going to quilt it with my trusty old Viking, with the presser foot pressure loosened, and hope that I can avoid any obvious shifting.
I'm linking up over at sew -n- tell Friday, go see what everyone's been working on this week! Hope you have a great weekend!

how pretty vicki!
Oh that turned out just wonderful Vicki! It is so light and breezy like a spring day!
Very pretty. I'm a big fan of spray basting (505) and not one of fusable. Used fusable polyester and it's nasty stuff.
Wow that looks great... I just got a large bundle of sheet FQ and have wondered what to do with them!
That has such a wonderful springy softness to it. Love those vintage sheets!
This is so beautiful. I have going to have to start collecting vintage sheets.
What a pretty quilt! It's so soft and airy.
this is so amazing. i love vintage sheets and this one is just stunning. you should keep it....i would never be able to give it up
Very pretty. I love it!
I really, really like it, too! Those fabrics are wonderful! As far as the basting goes, I like pin basting and spray basting. Both are easy and work well. Not a fan of the fusible, though. The glue made permanent stains on one of my quilts.
That quilt turned out so beautifully. I love the soft colors!
This quilt top is so beautiful. Love the soft pretty fabrics.
Wow!! I LOVE this. This is utterly beautiful.
This is lovely! My daughter says it makes her think of spring, and it brings to my mind a tea room. Just beautiful!
Just lovely. It is so springy, fresh, and cheerful. I can see why you're so pleased.
So soft and pretty. Love it! :o)
Love the soft colors! So very pretty!
Love the quilt top. I have a crazy huge collection of vintage sheets and they make the best quilts. I am making a dresden plate quilt out of them now.
I bet it is going to look really great quilted.
Vicki, this quilt top is so pretty. Can't wait to see your watercolor quilt. Thanks for sharing!
Oh! I love it sooo much! I have been keeping an eye out for a great quilt pattern for my vintage sheets. I don't know why I never thought of a log cabin block. Thais is awesome. Did I mention, I love it?!?
Stunning, Vicki!!!
This quilt really reminds me of my Grandma and makes me smile...
