I love how happy this quilt is. Like a breath of summer. Made me smile and want to start in on a new project!

You're so kind! Thank you!
Thanks jacque!!!
Thanks Elaine. It is in heavy rotation around here. :)
Beautiful, Dana! Makes me think of summer. Or a big bowl of rainbow sherbet! Yummy 💕
So pretty! I have been seeing more and more vintage sheets at thrift stores but never pick them up. If you ever are looking for specific colors or want something in particular, let me know and I'll see if I can find it. I am a thrift-a-holic and hit the ones near me regularly!

I've thought the same things!!! Great minds think alike!
First of all, THANK YOU!!
Second of all, wouldn't it be AMAZING if we could go thrift store shopping together? ?!!!??
Third of all, it's probably best that you don't start looking at vintage sheets because I suspect you would become hooked on them too! :) :) :)
This is such a happy quilt! Good job on a wonderful finish!

The colors are beautiful. It says spring/summer to me. Great use of those sheets.
Can’t say I’ve seen vintage printed sheets around here, but they are so fun and cheerful. Great use of your scraps for a bright and happy cuddle.
I also love vintage sheets and have quite a few collected. This is beautiful!
I see the stars. And I see lots of color. Bright, beautiful colors. What a cheerful quilt. Beautiful sewing job and color selection.
So pretty and very springy. I love it!
This is beautiful Dana, I love to scour the thrift shops for vintage sheets though yours are much more vibrant than any I have found. Enjoy the snuggles. I hope to make a vintage sheet quilt some day! Thanks for the inspiration. Janita
