This was intended to be an applique quilt. If I were you, I would learn how to hand applique. Later on you will want to find a good backing fabric, create oversized squares, applique these to the squares, and find either an authentic or repro 1930's fabric for the center circles.
Amazing find!!!
Ditto. This is a great opportunity to learn hand applique, if you don't already know how. It's very easy and you'll get hooked on it like the rest of us appliquers :)
