I’m participating in Oh Fransson’s Vintage Sheet Patchwork swap, and I spent today cutting, ironing, and folding my fat quarters. This was kind of fun – I found my sheets at a couple local thrift stores, and for about $1.50, I could cut about 6-8 fat quarters from each one. I was able to find a few different patterns, as you see below. Check out some of the other sheets being traded in this swap.
I obviously failed cutting in a straight line in Kindergarten because I now have a pile of scraps that are just shy of a fat quarter – 18″x22″. If anyone really wants some of the bigger scraps, just let me know. I also kept a couple fat quarters for myself to use in some projects.
When I was at my parent’s house in May, I raided my Mom’s linen closet and pulled out these sheets. I think I’m going to use these for a quilt for our bed – I really like this design I found online.

Oh these are all such great finds. Thank goodness I popped over! I had completely forgotten about this swap!! I must get cutting. It’s gonna be a great swap!
I’d be happy to swap some scraps with you – even if they’re not exactly fat quarters. (Because mine definitely aren’t…)
The third one down…the green grass and yellow butterflies? I HAVE THOSE SHEETS! They were my mom’s, and she didn’t use them much, but I still do. I love them :-)
Ha. I’m vintage :-)
That last pile will make a beautiful quilt!
