Just a quick post today!
I have been so frustrated, trying to find cute linens in my signature cheery prints and colors. There seem to be plenty of prints to be found at kids' shops, but not in king size. I have found some great ginghams too, but they only seem to be made in flannel.
After my success with the Christmas pillowcases, I thought why not do some fun mixed patterns for spring? As luck would have it, JoAnn Fabrics is having a big sale on calico cottons. I had some real fun picking out several bright, coordinating prints that say "spring" loud and clear!
How about a tutorial on how I made these? After I figured out the first one, I made three more in record time. I'll share my techinque tomorrow -- see you then!
** The tutorial is now up! You can find it here **

Really cute! I love mix and match sheets. Are you putting your pillow cases with white sheets or colors? Fun!

These are absolutely adorable! I agree. If you want colorful fun linens you often can't find them larger than a twin. Great job on mixing the fabrics. I love the way these turned out.

Those just shout "SPRING" don't they? I love your choices of fabrics. I think I need a trip to Joann's real soon :-)
I made some pillowcases a few years ago, and my husband was *so* impressed ... then he saw me make the next set, and realized how easy-peasy they are, lol.
