Love to see how earlier quilters pieced each block while being so careful with fabric - today most of us waste so much- our great-grandmothers are shaing their heads.

I intentionally flip some of my stripes so they are not going in the same direction.<br />Do you think the cut off points is why these blocks were never made into a quilt? Can you imagine the disappointment of the stitcher when she realized she didn't include a seam allowance? I wonder if she ever completed a quilt.<br />Love those pinks with the cheddar background!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045447993210042025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-43236424313556326732015-01-12T08:09:03.194-06:002015-01-12T08:09:03.194-06:00Thanks for sharing the antique blocks and I LOVE y...Thanks for sharing the antique blocks and I LOVE your cheddar block for Catherine's Garden.

Have you seen the new line of fabric by Lisa Bongean called Lakeside Gatherings? It has those cute little anchors in it. And I have a piece of that red (reproduction) with the horse shoes. Fun!

Not something that would have crossed my mind to use "as is" in a quilt but it sure makes an interesting block. The fact that one has to cut off all the points when assembling these pieces together is probably why they were never put into a quilt. She probably realized her mistake too late. She did make a beautiful stitch though. <br />You must have been extremely good to have such a lovely gift from Santa. Great blocks. Thanks for sharing. And yes, I love the cheddar block too. :DChantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495509534817984313.post-88326958424468198302015-01-10T23:06:12.026-06:002015-01-10T23:06:12.026-06:00Great vintage blocks--what a thoughtful Santa!
