Earlier this week I arrived home to the welcome sight of a very large envelope sitting on my door step in full view of the street. (PS thanks Australia Post for the care you take delivering parcels!)
What a welcome and wonderful sight ... 80 fat quarters of gorgeous vintage sheets (and only a couple already in my collection).
I love them ... so many pretty blues and purples.
And what about these piles of pretties?
I went through my pile of sheets (many of which I've found after I sent my sheets to the swap like this sheet) ... and don't two of the fat quarters I got go so well with this sheet I found last weekend?
I found this sheet last weekend too ... and I love these two fat quarters with it.
This is likely to be the first vintage sheet quilt I make ... I just love blue and green together and I've been saving these sheets. The green stripe was the first sheet I ever found.
But I love the florals from the 80s too (including the top floral sheet I purchased from etsy) ... and three fat quarters from the swap that fit perfectly. (PS Lucky ducks who scored the green/blue combination I sent in ... I found two of these sheets and it's one of my favourites.)
Thanks Ange for an amazing experience. I'm loving seeing what others got and I definitely plan on swapping again.
Kirsty at kootoyoo has lots more creative spaces to explore.

Wow! 80!! I thought I was cool sending 23! You certainly got a gorgeous mix there. I got mine yesterday too, they are so drool worthy, Ange did a fabulous job of mixing them all up for everyone!
Wow you swapped heaps!! Can't wait to see what you do with them! :)
OMG 80??? What a collection!
I walked out the front door with a bag of rubbish today and nearly tripped over the parcel that the postie left at the front door (he did at least hide it in between the wire and the heavy door)!
