I like buying vintage quilt blocks and for $5 that was a great deal.

What a lovely bit of nostalgia. Don't you wonder at the story behind them?

What beautifully done blocks! I like them 'as is' without sashing. Might try rearranging a few times to get best color placement, but I don't think I'd add sashing. I always rearrange at least a dozen times!!!

Don't you love it when a windfall lands in your sewing room. You did Good!
