Those blocks are soooo pretty. Great find, and wonderful setting. Love the sashing fabric. Antique fabs totally rock.
Keep up the hunt.

I found the pattern in a book from long ago. The pattern is WASTE NOT (Nancy Page) 1920-1930 The only difference is the block has a triangle on each side making the block set on point in the block. After telling my friend about this she thinks probably her grandmother on her dad's side made it. He passed away when she was still a child.
