Seems like most everyone likes the blue . Blue it is.
As far as deconstructing the blocks, I have 2 BTW, these are hand stitched block I am afraid if I started cutting they would really start coming apart. I think I will just put them on the back and use the other fabrics on the back too.
Some of these fabrics are from the 1940's . The lady in the shop yesterday said her mom had a robe out of one of the fabrics.
So today I wash my fabrics, tomorrow I cut and Monday I sew. One more UFO on the road to completion. :-)
I have 1 other set of vintage blocks And thats it on the vintage stuff I think. Unless something else turns up that's been buried.
