My Great Aunt use to make these so I had bunches in what her and my Gramma referred to as my Hope Chest. And through the years I have added to the collection I made several skirts for myself in the early 70's-which I still wear : ) I also made dresses for my 3 GDs which they all love and -even tho the oldest wears her's as tops now they are loved. I had thought about putting them in a quilt but felt they would be too girly. But my plan was to cut the case's 4 inches above the design-both layers stitched together at the cut and over lap them with a 3 inch exposure of the white. As I am writing it hit me this may even make a nice QAYG .. Well I hope you are happy - Now I have another idea for a little girls quilt to add to my list At this rate I will be here til I'm 130 yrs old LOL
