Just 8" squares sewn together, but it is SO cozy and sweet. How blessed you are to have a mil that would come help and mend your sheet! WOW! That picture is just amazing! I'd like your sheets too.

I keep the same ones forever before switching to new ones. My last ones were torn and had holes before we retired them. I wish I would have had them repaired. I didn't even think of it. Right now we have some nice ones from Target that I love. I don't even give them a break...I wash and put right back on the bed! .-= Kasey @ All Things Mamma´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/allthingsmamma/sJhy/~3/sotuGPpTkj8/" rel="nofollow">Tips For The Flu Season</a> =-.

In Hawaii we had to buy sheets for the beds at the house, and I bought the same sheets I have on the bed in Ca. Funny how that works! I am the same way!

Doesn't even have to be a big quilt, just a mini one of about 12" x 14" (or slightly bigger) suitable for framing within a shadow-type box frame or even a regular matted-type frame - you will making a piece of modern art for your wall - it could be just hand-sewn patches even with ragged edges and you frame it inside a glass covered wall frame and hang it on your bedroom wall, your child's wall or in the hallway - almost anywhere and you will be saving pieces of your life to view and be with you daily. Of course, the best ultimate choice would be to make it a quilt for your bed from all these patches - sewn in many various patterns (check out quilt patterns on line) or as a toss pillow envelope type cover creating a special pillow for your bedroom chair or on your bed.

When my husband and I got married almost 6 years ago, we purchased the exact same bed in a bag set from Target. Those are probably the softest, most welcoming sheets we've ever owned. Sadly, last year, we had to retire them. To many holes in both the top and bottom sheet to keep around. We're still using the comforter, while looking for a new one that might compare to this one. We just love them. Good luck in your search... just came across your blog while searching for something online… and can TOTALLY relate to your love of those sheets.
