Default gift from a past co-worker

[ATTACH=CONFIG]472165[/ATTACH] Just in case I run out of quilts to make, a past co-worker and good friend brought me a gift today. She had been to an estate sale and found 37 Dresdan plate blocks as appliqued and ready to be joined into a top and quilted. the blocks are 17" square and made of 1930 type prints. Cant wait il i have a few other projects out of my hair so i can see what these beauties will loom like when quilt is finished.
