I was burning some time on pinterest and saw this super cute photo of a baby quilt made out of vintage sheets. I thought to myself Hey-I have alot of those and it looks simple enough that I might could do it once P went down for nap... so...that's exactly what happened...
I found a bunch of sheets that didn't necessarily match -what fun is that- and started cutting. I had no rhyme or reason as to what exactly I was doing other than that I had a vintage square napkin, cut that into 4 and there was my pattern. I used that square to cut the rest of the squares (30 total-roughly 4 of each design)
5 squares in width and 6 squares in length. Finished product came about to be 40" x 48"
Next I took all the little squares so sewed them together-first across and then down.
Once I got it all sewn, I laid it onto another sheet and cut backing. To make it think I used batting and sewed it all together. I also added some vintage lace I got from my grandma to give the edges a more complete look.

And done-all before she woke up! I am happy her room has a little more flair and a homemade touch :)
