Those 9-patches would be pretty set on point with a dark (maybe black) background.
Thank you for that information. I knew they were pretty old and I knew some of them were feedsacks, but it is good to know a closer age. Also, I like the idea of setting the nine patches on point with a black background. I can just visualize how pretty that would be!
