I've been thinking about using this block as the basis for applique for this swap .... just not sure yet. Lots of ideas floating through my head .....

It has quite a story .... I found it about a month ago at a Salvation Army thrift store in a bag of rags ... and I just could not leave it there. It was super dirty so I soaked it in mild soapy water and then vinegar water and dried it in the sun. It is all hand stitched and hand quilted, muslin backing and batting, and measures 14" by 15". It looks to be about 30 years old. I thought it might be a great background for flowery applique.
But then by the time I get it done I might not be able to part with it.
