I have not read every page here, but
I would find out how old this panel is
and what company made them.......If they
are antique you may want to handle them
differently. They are so cute.

Absolutely a wonderful find! A quilt made from them is going to be quite a treasure. I would stick to muslin or beige to off white sashing and backing, maybe the binding in black.. I so love those blocks!

Thanks so much everyone. I would love to see pics of what you did with yours. I have so many ideas running thru my head right now of what to do with them. I have thought about the attic window idea. I'll just leave them the way they are for now, something will come up and it will be my "AHHHH haaaa" moment!

Bobbi, I couldn't find any of the little quilts with on the clothes hangers, but here is one with the black binding, and one without a binding and no hanger. I scanned the one without the binding on both sides. Since these blocks are so detailed I am going to post these in the original size so they can be opened enlarged. hope the quilting shows up

I tied a hanger of a white and a black ribbon on the corners. I had to do these on my scanner so the one with the binding was too large to get it all scanned. The binding does show on both sides though.

Barb those are so great. Thanks for taking the time to scan and show and tell for us. You did a great job on yours. I hope mine turn out just as great whenever I get around to doing something with them.
