I think I saw the last batch by the yard at Keepsake quilting a few years ago.

Oh... have fun with whatever you do! YEA Goodwill!
Love the black and tan ones. Would be great in a quilt!

They almost look like Trichem squares.
Anyone remember that stuff?

I do - those tubes with the ballpoint tips that always dried up... Lots of colors, though. I haven't seen them in years.

Oh, my yes. Wasn't that a requirement to have for good military wives way back when?

Oh yes I remember Trichem. Hasn't been to many years since I got rid of mine. I was not that good with them.

I remember buying them from Hershners & Leewards catalogs. Never cared for the results.

I just found my Trichem paints in their carrier downstairs. They still work! I am really amazed. I did lots of pillowcases with the paints. These little blocks look like something they would have carried except that the lines look really dark and may not have been covered by the paint.
