Do you have to worry about them shriNking the same? I always wonder if the vintage would crinkle like the quilting cotton does since it is previously laundered.... I always wondeR about this when thinking about mixing the two. <br />I absolutely love your blog and your quilts!

I pinned and she sewed and that quilt came out so lovely. I remember that once you told me to have fun and that is what we did. Her mother was so impressed! We used Lily Ashbury charm packs. Thank you Rita for good advice for a grandma teaching her grand-daughter to quilt.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241473395869677237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-30707280413226890792013-07-10T12:40:21.869+10:002013-07-10T12:40:21.869+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241473395869677237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-43471349149564798012013-07-10T12:26:26.493+10:002013-07-10T12:26:26.493+10:00Oh my goodness.
