A friend has inherited 27 hand-done redwork squares, about 6x6" each. According to a note with them, they were worked on by her great-grandmother's church group back in the 1920s. At this point they're just squares, not made up into a quilt.
She's undecided what to do with them. I told her we could work them into a quilt, but she's afraid that might diminish their value. IMHO, they're not particularly valuable right now as 27 small pieces of embroidery in a plastic bag.
What would you do with this material? It's in excellent condition and I don't think would be harmed by using it.
Thanks in advance.
