Vintage Sheets: Chop and Change

More Vintage Sheet Goodness! The sheets I received in Ange's swap have been a great source of inspiration. I've been cutting out 24cm squares from the fat quarters to make a quilt, and stockpiling the trimmings. They looked a bit anaemic on their own so I've added some solids. I thought I'd use these little pieces for a stacked coin quilt, but when I'd made a few I decided to slice through them and join them back into a square, hence 'Chop and (loose) Change'.

I might make some more blocks and join them with sashing, but I'm leaning towards making a cushion cover for my etsy shop.

If you were in the swap or make things with vintage sheets, please leave me a comment so I can put your blog and my sidebar and see what you've been making!

I like the addition of the solids. It brings all the colours together somehow. I haven't been making anything yet ... probably not until the new year when I get a little more time.
