I should be finishing up my doll quilt swap to get into the mail; but, a neighbor gave me a couple of really old, beat up cutter quilts and I was up 'til midnight and again early today cutting into one. It was a complete double side - one side with fairly yukky (but old) squares of anything and everything fabrics; the other side with triangles of more interesting fabrics. The two sides were sort of bound together and were tied. The surprise came when I found two old dresses used inside the two outsides. One was still hemmed. I guess they just puzzle-fit garment pieces in for use as batting. Very interesting. Looks like 30's or 40's dresses, mostly handsewn.
