The background is cream, but the photo makes them look yellow. Only a couple cream pieces and four HST blocks had to be added from my stash to make things all work out evenly.
The navy and red look so sweet together in these vintage blocks. The fabrics seem to be from the 1960's and early 1970's.
Sometimes it's just impossible to drop by a thrift store and not give something a new home. Recently I stopped in at the little store that supports the food shelf in the small town near our cabin. This little bag of 3-inch fabric squares and some partially made blocks came home with me for a mere $1.50. Of course I also made a cash donation to the food shelf, and dropped off 5 boxes of items that will not be making their way into our remodeled cabin. Win, win!
What sweet fabrics I discovered when I got home! Clearly they were the discards and leftover pieces from some quilter's projects in the 1970's. Some fabrics were much older, maybe late 50's or early 60's.

| The fabrics in the little 4-patch are adorable! That red mini-print is definitely 1970's. |
 |
| There were four finished blocks in red, white and navy. Hopefully I can make another four to put with them. |
 |
| Not sure what these were, but they're coming apart. Every seam is double stitched and backstitched. UGH! |
 |
| What would you do with these seven blocks? |
