The bag said, "quilt scraps'. The tag said 50 cents. I didn't look inside till I got home. You could have knocked me over with a feather. These 14 blocks are hand pieced. Now what do I do to finish them. Do you ladies think that they are feed sack, from the 40's? I don't know that much about this. I don't know how to go about putting them into aquilt worthy of their workmanship. Please help. I hope the 2 pix show, never did this before.

What a treasure!! You could make a very nice quilt with those.

Lucky You!!!! They do look like 30's to 40's prints. You can look at the tutorials at Missouri Star Quilt Co for ideas to finish em!

wow what a find

They aren't necessarily made from feedsacks, but the fabrics look like they are from the 1930's. Feedsacks would have a coarser textures than regular cotton fabrics from that era.

This was intended to be an applique quilt. If I were you, I would learn how to hand applique. Later on you will want to find a good backing fabric, create oversized squares, applique these to the squares, and find either an authentic or repro 1930's fabric for the center circles.

Amazing find!!!

I would learn how to applique real quick if I were you - this is going to be one beautiful 50 cent quilt!

The fabrics are kind of grainier than LQS fabric. And not too bright and shiny. If you know what I mean. I can't seem to get my second close-up pix to upload. Some of the fabrics are very dull and lack-luster too.

Ditto. This is a great opportunity to learn hand applique, if you don't already know how. It's very easy and you'll get hooked on it like the rest of us appliquers :)

WOWZA! Wish I could find something like that! This will make a beautiful quilt!

Lucky You!!!
