Absolutely a wonderful find! A quilt made from them is going to be quite a treasure. I would stick to muslin or beige to off white sashing and backing, maybe the binding in black.. I so love those blocks!

I tied a hanger of a white and a black ribbon on the corners. I had to do these on my scanner so the one with the binding was too large to get it all scanned. The binding does show on both sides though.

Barb those are so great. Thanks for taking the time to scan and show and tell for us. You did a great job on yours. I hope mine turn out just as great whenever I get around to doing something with them.
