Ta dahh a quilty type blankie
Last week I spent my down time stitching up a little quilt for my niece, Harmony. Her mama loves purple so purple vintage sheets it was. I've used some white chenille backing with a touch of floral. There's no batting sandwiched in between. I prefer a soft, light blanket style when using the chenille. The chenille has the perfect amount of snuggly and it's very warm. Simple quilting with random straight lines, I think it'll be a beautiful addition to her bassinett. More photos to come once it's been gifted.

Funny, being a collector of vintage sheets, I think I have ALL of those sheets you have used! They must have been such popular designs. You've done something really wonderful with them though, the blankie is gorgeous.
I havent come across chenille bedspreads while op-shopping. They sound like the perfect backing though.
Your quilt is beautiful.

So, so gorgeous and lovely, Lea. You've done a beautiful job :-)
love all that purple lea, Emily will love it. I've been making cushions, quilts and about to start chopping into vintage blankets. Soooo much to sew sooooo little time. xxx Miss you x
Oh it's beautiful Lea. She'll love it.
Well in my downtime I've been making dresses and skirts. I'm done for a while tho!
Gorgeous quilt Lea. Love this concept of using different size squares and rectangles as it would hide my beginner issues of all the joins not lining up. And yep, I recognize a few sheets in there too. mel x
