Reverse Sewing

I have spent my afternoons this week reverse sewing..... By reverse I mean ripping out what I have sewn...... Ann,one of my co-workers called it reverse sewing when she taught quilting classes and I remember her each time I have to take out what I have sewn......

I am making a quilt out of my Mom's sheets.... She always had pretty sheets, when I was small she would iron her sheets after bringing them in from the cloths line.......

I saw 8 1/2 sheet squares for sell on Etsy to use to make a quilt.....I thought I have Mom's sheets, why not use them and make a quilt....I fussy cut all the pretty flowers from the sheets......I thought I would just sew together randomly which I did....
.
OH--NO.... I did not like it.... I love scrappy quilts, but controlled scrappy......What to do???
 By the time I got it together I wanted this quilt so bad.....So I have been taking it apart this week and putting back together.

 I added a border from my stash and I will use another one of her sheets for the lining.........I will use on my bed, perfect, because the dogs sleep on the bed on top of the quilt and I can wash as often as it needs without worrying that I would ruin the quilt.......

All I have left to do is quilt it.......Glad I have a long arm machine.......When I had a quilt shop, I always advised people to never use a sheet for quilting......Never say Never......
