Making a start on the Vintage sheet charm quilt

 Boy I'm on a quilty roll aren't I? When I accept a challenge I tend to work ahead of shedule.

I completely stress out if I leave things to the last minute. But the problem is that I tend to do the opposite... stress out making sure things are finished well ahead of schedule.


This project is number nine on my list of 12 WIPS in 2012 =====>


I bought the charms last September from Etsy. 

I love the idea of a vintage sheet charm quilt, but knew I would never have the patience to trawl Op shops collecting sheets.

I bought the charms here. I follow this lady's blog and when she announced she was offloading her collection of vintage sheet charms on Etsy I snapped up 3 sets of 36 charms.

All the for bargain price of $31.50 including shipping to Australia!

This has allowed me to layout the charms in a 10x10 arrangement and will result in a generous lap quilt. It will look fabulous on the couch I showed you in my last post don't you think?
