What to do with vintage family heirloom quilt blocks
My mom had given me a bunch of quilt blocks made by a great great Aunt and would like me to make some kind of a quilt with them. Two things: I am not a super experienced quilter. I’ve made 10 quilts but all fairly simple. And I am also not a hand quilter. The blocks are pieced by hand. Some of them are in okay shape and some are not. They all have discoloration. There are about 18 9 patch blocks (about 8 inches square) that are in reds and blues and some of them have already been sewn together so I am guessing that was her intent with these blocks. There are also some pinwheels that are in decent shape that are also blues and reds-probably about 15. I guess my question is, what would you do with these? I’m not sure I can do anything about the discoloration, but I can go back and repair the seams that look weak. Looking for ideas! Thanks
