I keep saying I want to get that book!! Thanks so much!! I am planning to put it together 6 by 8 blocks. The fabric is in great shape. My sister called & said I was about to throw these in the garbage because they are so ugly but I thought you might want them....just goes to show you...one sister's trash another sister's treasure!! Thanks again, I am so thrilled to have a name for this pattern!

Does anyone know where I can try to check the dates of the fabric? They are probably feedsacks because my grandfather owned a general store where he sold everything including feed & seed.
