Default Attic find

While having work done on her house, these quilt blocks were found in the attic of my friend. She does not know who did them. They are hand pieced. They were very stained so I soaked them in the sink until white again. Set them together with fabric from a 96 yr old friend. Enjoy[ATTACH=CONFIG]397808[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]397815[/ATTACH]
