I know, starting a new project when so many others are on hold is generally a bad idea, but I scored some amazing vintage pillow cases the other day and I’m just too excited. There are 8 different prints cut into 5.5″ squares to be sewn into a diagonal pattern in a 16 x 16 grid. Luckily I didn’t use all the pillow cases so there will be a few left over to put on the pillows. I’ll back it with one of my full size vintage sheets and I’m thinking I might tie quilt it rather than machine. We will see.
I’m so glad to finally have a purpose for all this amazing fabric!
OMG, those pillowcases are a serious treasure! They totally warrant starting a new project! Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Yep, my heart skipped a beat when I found them at VV. The dumb part was the pricing: single ones were 99 cents and pairs hung together were $2.99. And this might make sense if there were just a bunch of odd, single pillowcases (I mean, to pay an extra dollar to have a pair) except that 2 of the pairs were hung as singles. So I asked nicely at the cash if I could have them all for 99 cents each, saving myself $3, and the cashier was cool.
Hm. Writing that down makes it sound confusing, but it does make sense!
