He is very happy and it is dragged downstairs in the morning for snuggling on the couch. Made entirely with thrifted fabrics, sheeting on the front and a chenille bedspread for the back. I haven't used any batting. The chenille makes it surprisely warm and it makes for a lovely soft, snuggly blankie.

O wow it looks awesome!!! And a gorgeous new bed too!
It looks fantastic! I love the mix of fabrics, and even though it uses vintage fabrics, it looks quite modern - love it!
That looks great, no wonder he is so chuffed and it is good to see a vintage sheet boys version around.Is the vintage sheet side stitched through to the chenille or just around the border? melx
Sensational! Looks fantastic. Very inspiring. Wish I could find as many 'boy' vintage sheets as I do 'girl' so I can make something for my boys. Nice. Fi xx

I love the idea of chenille backing, I've been meaning to do that for a while!
looks great Lea Lea, you can get your floral one back now. I love the pops of red in it. well done.
Love the mixture of patterns. I am not going to pass up the next chenille bedspread I see at the oppie either - what a great idea!
That's gorgeous! I love that you trifled all the fabrics, makes it even more special.
Oh wow! It looks fantastic! I often find boy style vintage sheets when I'm out thrifting, this idea is great!

I must admit to seeing the first two pics and not loving on the fabrics, but the overall effect is GORGEOUS! Great job! That bed head reminds me of one I had when i was little, I had forgotten about it. Must ask Mum :)
