These are soaking as I type this.
I don't even know how many there are.
I purchased them (quite reasonably)
last weekend.
There was a large quilt-top as well
of the same blocks
that I didn't purchase.
Now I'm kicking myself
and trying to get a hold of the folks
to see if they still have it.
Some of them had some
mystery spots so I used
Grandma's spot remover,
then a wash with orvis,
and now a 'kinda' second soak.
There was a surprise in the bundle.
They all have a 'spotted muslin' background,
except...
It's the same size,
same size of stitches and so forth.
Makes me wonder if it was a little joke
or if there was a story to go with it.
I will wait and see what I can come up with
as far as getting the quilt top
before I do anything with these.
before I do anything with these.
My suspicion is that they are pre-1900,
but I'm not very good at quilt dating
with the exception of some crazy quilts
(yep the ones with the dates stitched into them:?)
heehee
~Have a wonderful weekend~
Until next time,
Nimble Fingers and Even Stitches
