    I went to NewburyPort, Ma today and went into a Antique store and saw these blocks for sale...23 butterfies for 20.00 Woohoo...any of you ladies know what time frame these fabrics are from? Someone did a great job on them. Love them...plan on making a quilt with them.

    My guess would be '30's - '40's. Great find:)

    I think the blocks are from the 30's/40's, too. That or they're very good reproductions. :) What a lovely little group!

    My grandmother had a similar quilt - the butterflies outlined with a black blanket stitch. So charming! :)

    Leaders and Enders-This is very neat. If you already use a leader and an ender why not create something as you are already using these scrap fabrics. Check these quilts out! Beautiful and the fabric was not wasted and you created an extra quilt while
