Gads, those should be seen as historical items. You might wasnt to find a way to display them?

They are sure heavy for as thin as they appear. Make great weights!

I used to hand piece a lot in Alaska and even taught it in the villages, but here in OK I rarely teach and when I do you can bet it is NOT going to be hand piecing!
I suppose they could be used for regular piecing, these are for making 12" blocks!
Could any of you please share some pictures of these metal templates? I have never seen one ever. thanks

yes those are the ones. I bought them about 15 years ago when I took my first quilt class. I use them every now & then.

Have you decided how much you want for them? Also, are there more designs? The last 2 weren't on your original list.

Thank you,

I wouldn't get rid of them....they are treasures to keep! You might find out you may use them one day or you could use them for a display in your studio area. I just love old treasures.
