Absolutely lovely! What a find. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with them. They will make a beautiful quilt!

The daughters missed out big-time. The grandchildren may never forgive them for letting them go. I have stuff my mother made scattered around my house and they don't even go with my decor. Who cares. They're precious to me. The idea of giving the artist full credit is really important. she should be celebrated.

I like your EQ design but find the border a little over powering. I'd recommend a more subtle border, maybe a light colored small flower print. In the 70s we "set" fabric paint by pressing with a cloth soaked in vinegar. If they are painted with fabric paint you probably won't have a problem. Any other kind of paint (and it could be) and all bets are off. The blocks are beautiful. Good luck.

IMO, no, it would distract from the lovely florals. I would try and find a pretty floral print with white background for sashing and borders. They are all beautiful and I would like to have your "problem".

What a find! Like you, I'd would had to have had them! As a painter in my other life, you could take a dampened cotton swab and swab a small area, maybe near the base of of leaf, to see if the paint comes off. Even if it does remove a bit of paint it would resemble the shading already there. I would also wash gently in cold water if ever washed. Perhaps just hanging it out in the spring for an airing would suffice, especially if used on a guest bed. I agree with previous posts about sashing and embroidery of flower names. Great ideas.

Wow what a find !! I would sash them.

Nice framing, but too much green solid. IMO a softer print would enhance the florals.

Im not sure what I would do with them but they are really cute.

Ditto! Love those blocks and would choose a softer print.

Those are fabulous! I have a hand painted cotton tablecloth that was done in the 50's - I still use it, and have washed it many many times without the colors running.
