Wow, what a haul. I can see myself with a ton of tops. Quilting is so new to me and I doubtful about machine quilting and my hand stitching is horrible. Good luck and would love to see them finished. Some of the patterns look familiar but I'd have to look back and forth so much that I'd loose this site and have to keep clicking for it. ~sigh~

Blessings, Ruth

I'll look through some of my books and see if I can find the patterns. 1 and 9 look to be the same pattern as do 7 and 8. How blessed you are to have been gifted all of these beautiful old quilts.

7 + 8 are a block called "54-40 or Fight" a pattern named after the fighting for the Oregon territory in the 1800's. One of my FAVORITE patterns, though I have never made one. :)
