I've noticed that these great old sheets are becoming scarce in our area.Last weekend I stopped in the local thrift store. As I looked through the linens, I came across this beauty.
I am hoping to make a quilt top using all different colors and designs from vintage sheets. It will certainly be soft and loved.

I have just finished a vintage sheet quilt. : )
I am collecting also. Yours is very soft and pretty.
Old soft sheets are really great. They take me back to climbing in bed with my grandmother on a hot summer night when she didn't have air condition and they would be so cooling. What was it about the old cotton ones that was so soft?

Great finds! I have several I have "saved" to do the same thing. But like you, they are getting harder and harder to find!! I always keep an eye out however for them.
Happy VTT!
I made a vintage sheet quilt for a friend of mine. It turned out wonderful! They are hard to find in my area, too. A couple of years ago they were everywhere.
I have not thought of looking for these. You were lucky finding such nice ones.
Those are all wonderful vintage sheet finds! I keep my eye out for them too.
I just LOVE vintage sheets!
Delightful. Beautiful designs. Well done.

Your vintage sheets are very pretty! The patterns on them are so soft and feminine. I need to start looking for some! Lesa
I LOVE vintage sheets. I've been buying them for years to use for quilt backings. They really feel wonderful on a quilt. They're getting awfully scarce around here too....
