Hey gramadona -

Do you happen to have that pattern? The pictures you posted seem to be the pattern. I need the pattern of the boys, though, because my contribution to the blocks will be the boy in blue pants and gingham shirt holding the fiddle - "The Fiddler" - in the middle of the center medallion.
If you don't have that pattern, who does? My teacher may have drafted that pattern already - if so I will do a few practice blocks and applique a fiddle on each block. I will set them on point, square them off with setting triangles, with larger triangles around the for diamond-in-a-diamond for the center medallion, and then I can get those tops put together with the blocks. I need that pattern now...
Since you are in Suisun City, are you in a quilt guild there? I ask because one of the ladies had attached a sticker address label on the back of her block, and the address was in Palo Alto, CA. So I was wondering if this was a pattern that did the rounds back in the 1990's in the Bay Area of California. I am writing that person anyway to see if she has contact info for the intended recipients. I hesitate to post their names here, I'm asking that person direct first, but if you are currently in a quilt guild, could you ask the ladies there in Suisun City if they had that pattern back in 1994? (date as written on some of the signed blocks)
