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? |
