Vintage twice over...

a block made by me after tracing the blocks...

While emptying baskets I found yet another old project...twice old!

Back in the 1980's I bought this sunbonnet sue crib quilt at an estate sale.  I'm not generally a Sue fan but this one grabbed me.  The sue's held up well but the pink sashing is really faded and since there was only a little quilting the batting has all bunched and shifted.
A gardening and cleaning sue from the original quilt...

First I tried to trace off the design.  Not real happy with that.  So when I saw the pattern for the "days of the week towels" I was really excited!

By now it was the early to mid-90's.  I had just finished my first big applique quilt.  So I started again.

Not 100% sure why it went back into the UFO pile.  I'm going to spend a few hours kitting this up so I can use it as a take-along project.
