I realize that you have been given many suggestions already. I, if they were mine to treasure, I would contact a state quilt museum (if your state has one) or the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, for expert advice. I have visited there and they have a marvelous staff. Please let us know what you do so we can learn from you.

Very pretty. I found that pattern in my DM's patterns but have never used it.

That old saying comes to mind - One man's trash is another woman's treasure!

So glad these were rescued. Someone spent a lot of time and hard work creating them. I hope you keep us posted as to how you use them.

I love them. I would put a block between them so that the butterflies really pop out.
