Some may be from feedsacks -- that I don't know, but they are old. These blocks were trimmed to 9.5", but the size is anybody's choice. I plan to set the blocks on point and will use the "quilt as you go" technique to connect them. My avatar shows a quilt made with this method.

Those are soooooo pretty!!!! I remember Mom having loads of the embroidered pillow cases and my Grandma use to do them all the time. Such a shame I don't have any of them today. When you finish your project be sure and come back here to post a picture. I bet your quilt is going to be gorgeous!!!
