Pink Trip Pattern

Take a trip with me!
A Pink trip!
A Pink scrappy vintage sheet trip!


I love pairing a great fabric with the 
vintage look and feel of bed sheets.

Way back when, I made this gem.
Then I jumped on the Leaders and Enders bandwagon.  
I saw Bonnie's idea for her Scrappy Trip Around the World 
and I knew exactly what I wanted to do! 
It's been waiting patiently 
by the sewing machine for me to sew it together, 
in between other projects.

 
Yummy flannel backing here!



I've written up how I did it 
and applied Bonnie's idea. 
Get the PDF here. 
You'll need to visit her page 
to see how to put the block together.
I think it's brilliant and I loved making this quilt. 
Bonnie has made her block with 6 rows.  
I did 5 rows. 


So join me on this trip. 
No jet lag.
No x-ray scans. 
No annoying tray in your lap 
when the fellow in front of you
decides to stretch out.

    What a great method. I was so stupid when I made my trips around the world that I cut each square and laid them all out. But that was years ago. I hope I'm smarter now. This is a great way to make the quilt. Love your fabrics.

    You are right about the new fabric working with the vintage sheets. It makes a great contrast.

    Thanks for linking your quilt to the Vintage Sheet Blog party.
