I like buying vintage quilt blocks and for $5 that was a great deal.

yep,frame them with strips all around to make them all the same size. then maybe put them on point....

What a lovely bit of nostalgia. Don't you wonder at the story behind them?

What beautifully done blocks! I like them 'as is' without sashing. Might try rearranging a few times to get best color placement, but I don't think I'd add sashing. I always rearrange at least a dozen times!!!

Very unusual fabrics, figure they are from the 60's by some of the fabrics. Doesn't matter to me.....I just loved them and had to have them. They are 10.5 to 11 inches each.

Don't you love it when a windfall lands in your sewing room. You did Good!
