WOW what a find at what a price! I have started two of these....one I am doing in redwork, the other I have googled the colors of the birds and am trying to match these. Let me tell you that is a lot of work you bought! I am on block 27 of the Redwork, and still on one on the natural! I am anxious to see your find completed and in the quilt!

They are all clean and there is even a sheet of paper that tells each state's bird, the colors, etc. I haven't decided how I will sash these or how many blocks in how many rows. I'm excited!! This was a great purchase. Do any of you have a quilt with these blocks? I think the patterrn was popular back in the 50's and 60's. I'd love to see a vintage one.
