I was thinking about drafting out the pattern. At the most I would only need I think I would only need another 11 blocks to make a nice size quilt. The centers are all different. I just layed out a group of the blocks on the carpted floor to get an idea of what it might look like with sashing between the blocks. This is about 1/2 the blocks.

What a great garage sale find.

I found this pattern but it makes a 12 1/2" unfinished block:

I can re-size the block so it will work. It might take me a bit of time but I am sure I can eventually do it.

Someone put a lot of work into these back during WWII. I want to be so careful putting them into a quilt that I will also treasure.

They are a wonderful find! Have you thought of putting them on point to make them go further? Just a thought.
