These babies were born (or finished – semantics really) just hours apart!

I had been working on both of these quilts simultaneously, so it makes sense that I would finish them up in one craft heavy evening.

The white, blue and tangerine quilt was created using a collection of vintage fabrics.  The white chenille was originally one giant bed spread, but due to some minor stains it had lost a great deal of it’s appeal.  The orange and blue patterned fabrics are also from vintage bedding.  This colour scheme is one of my favourites right now and it’s commonly featured as a theme on Etsy.

The red and white quilt was featured on this blog in the past.  Back then it was much wider than the actual finished piece.  That quilt was made using vintage and recycled fabrics like thin cordouroy, red polka dot napkins and silkscreened bed sheets.  I even carved a little stamp to add some character to some of the big red dots throughout the quilt top.

I will be adding both of these quilts to my Etsy, but they may be for sale in a brick and morter location eventually.  I just hope that someday they find a home where they’re loved.
