Pictures of embroidery blocks with vintage fabric
I have had a few requests for pictures of my quasi-crazy quilt project. It starts with a straight but irregular edge cut focus fabric of embroidered cotton layered on a 10" piece of muslin or other scrap. My picture shows two blocks that started with segments of a pillowcase. The fabrics that are "sewn and flipped" around the focus fabric are vintage. Some may be from feedsacks -- that I don't know, but they are old. These blocks were trimmed to 9.5", but the size is anybody's choice. I plan to set the blocks on point and will use the "quilt as you go" technique to connect them. My avatar shows a quilt made with this method.

My Two
I have two feedsacks of the green print which still are stitched together. Actually, they may be flour sacks. These sacks were in my Aunt Peggy's scraps. The solid blue-green one is a feed sack. There is a remaining logo that reads, "GlobeA-1 Laying Mash." So I know that one is a feed sack.
