Beautiful, some of those materials look like feed sack material.

Although I don't know anything about 30's fabrics, I'm glad you noticed because I found out yesterday that is was made in 1930! :D Thanks.

Thanks for info on it.

I'm not going to worry about the stains because they are so tiny. Smaller than a green bean size.

You are so lucky. I was wondering this morning where all my grandmother's quilts ended. She probably had close to 100 she had made.
