I found a few small bags of fabric and large bag of patterns. I still have to go through it all and figure out some of the patterns, but I am loving this one panel. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I will most definatly use it in a quilt. I got all of it for $9.50. Could not believe it!
Anyone have ideas for a quilt pattern for these panels?

Those panel are wonderful. One idea would be to make black and white house, church, barn, schoolhouse, etc. blocks and place these various panels thoughout.
What a lucky find! I'm sure whatever you decide to do with them it will be beautiful!

Ohhhh, I wish I had found them! I can see them set into the center of blocks using pink and black and white as my color scheme. Probably using 30's repro fabric for my pinks. What a lucky find. Sometimes those spur of the moment stops can be so lucky!
Happy sewing,
