Quit top for my student teacher

I have a student teacher this semester- Sarah.  She's awesome and will make a good teacher ( that is if she still decides to teach after dealing with some of my ---how shall I say--- more challenging  students- and we have many).  She has about a month left and I thought I'd make her a quilt as a present when she's done student teaching.  I've been collecting vintage sheets now for a while and since Sarah's really girl, I thought I might make her a cute little quilt from my vintage sheet collection.  I originally just cut up a bunch of 3 inch squares and wasn't sure what I was going to do, but I think it came out really cute.  Now I just have to pick a sheet for the back and quilt it.

Vintage Sheet Quilt #1

My first vintage sheet quilt.  I used a tutorial from the Missouri Star Quilt Company to do it.  It's so much fun and so easy.  I haven't decided yet how much bigger I'm going to make it. I had one pattern sheet and there were a couple of paint splatters in a few spaces and I wondered if I'd have enough- them luck be in on Presidents Day, Savers was having 50% off on all clothes and household items and I found  another exact sheet I needed.  I was so excited.  Savers is the bomb!


WIP

I haven't posted anything new lately because they are baby shower gifts.  Don't want the mommies to see them.  As soon as I give them as presents I can post them.  They are really cute and can't wait for you to see them.

Color Swaps

I'm participating in two color swaps:
1) Rainbow Color Swap March 2012.  Here are my blues:


2) Austin Modern Quilt Guild- I'm in the Orange/Red Orange Catergory and the Blue/Green Blue Category

I can't wait to see what I get from the rest of the group
