    Thanks for creating & sharing this, Robin Johnson 💖 Vintage sheets do have a lovely feel! I can’t imagine many ‘modern’ sheets lasting 50 years

    I love hand sewing the binding too. I know a lot of people dislike it but for me, I just love finishing it up. And you’re right, it’s so nice to put on a good tv show and sew away!

    Cute. I made a summer quilt or as I call it a Phoenix quilt. I live in Phoenix AZ and is mostly too hot for a traditional quilt. I made the quilt top and used a vintage sheet for the backing. I didn't add any batting.

      Hooray!! Glad you posted this. I am encouraged to proceed WITHOUT batting!!

      I made one with 2 percale sheets with a flannel sheet between! It’s just right for hot weather 🥵

    Oh my word I SO appreciate this video!!! For years I never understood how people could just machine sew the top of the quilt. You shouldn't be able to fit half a quilt in the space between your needle and sewing machine... BUT YOU ROLL IT!!! That is SO SO SO smart!!! Thank you for this video it was so instructive and I can't wait to try out this method and make some quilts from my vintage sheets!

    You answered my question like no other video did. Roll it to sew up the middle. My grandson likes puffy quilts so it will be a little more challenging but I think it will still work. Thank you!

    Question, can you machine sew the entire binding? Also, really like the wabi sabi repair you made. I want to make a "kantha" like light quilt and this looks like a nice project. The vintage sheets makes a nice quilt. Thank you
    I also like you did this with a regular sewing machine and not a lot of fancy stitches!!!

    Wow, just love your work, where do you get vintage sheets?

    • @oldtimerlee8820
      @oldtimerlee8820 6 років тому +1

      Yard sales, thrift stores, flea markets, Goodwill, etc. Keep a wish list of second-hand items to buy, as you encounter them. Never know when one of those items will show up during your stash shopping trips.

    Hi Robin. I love this idea...so I’m going to look for a sheet. I have a couple of questions...do you know if the vintage sheets you found are muslin, or cotton/poly? I like mine to be soft like yours...I didn’t know if I should go with the muslin. And...I was thinking of buying a flat double...or do you use a twin? Thanks for your answer Robin!❣️

    Just gotta love whole piece quilts ! Always wanted one like it...but..my bed gets invaded by fur babies lol. One stays with me (seizure dog ) . I never tried that batting. What are the stitch requirements on package please? The one I use is 2-5 inch. Be nice to have one with more.

    • @RobinJohnsonDecor

      Sorry to say I don't have the package anymore but I don't think I changed anything up in that regard when I was sewing the layers together.
