I ended up having a very muddled day today and barely accomplished anything...As of yet, my pirates still don't have any costumes to speak of - I 'm only starting to cut out the pattern pieces now and it's already past 11:00 pm... So, given this lack of progress on my current project, I thought I would show you a photo of something I made several months ago and we can all pretend that I just finished it today...
While the patchwork piece looks like a quilt, it's actually a duvet cover which is backed by sheeting fabric trimmed by ric rac. Also shown in the photo are a couple of pillowcases and a cushion with an appliqued little flower posy which I also made to match the duvet cover.
Well, my day was not a complete write-off since I did manage to find a little basket full of vintage treasures at one of my favorite thrift stores; 
finding the fabric was a real treat because I very rarely find such lovely pieces of vintage, crisp cotton... I also love old children's patterns from the 50's, 60's and early 70's (the one in the photo is from 1965), but that is another story altogether...
