After staring at the quilt blocks for the quilt along, I got antsy to get my hands on some real deal feedsack fabric and found these blocks on Ebay! I got seven of them for about $15. They are hand pieced dresden plates made of feedsacks from the 1930s. The stitching is lovely and they seam pretty sturdy. I tend to get precious with stuff like this and just horde them in a safe place. I think I might actually use these. The edges seem a little brittle for needle turned applique. I have pondered the idea of trimming them into circles and making new quilt blocks. Taking scissors to these does sort of scare me. Any ideas?
Before I bite off anything else I have to get these put together. I am a week behind, which is just ridiculous. So close to the end, but yet so far . . .
