Got to bottom of box where I found Feed Sack Blocks and found these. Now believe me my aunt NEVER threw any scrap away. This proves it. Each finished block measures 8 1/2 . There was no more of the cream so really going to use imagination. Lots of stars with no cream and jillions of star diamonds. Each one of those measure 4 1/2. Going to finish enough stars that I need and going to use a bright red and a pale yellow in place of cream on additional blocks. Then put together for a baby quilt for the first great=grandchild expected in May. Got a beautiful emerald deep color blu-green for backing and the borders. What's you think? Will post finished pictures when done
