Vintage Quilt Blocks


I recently came across a package of vintage quilt blocks I purchased years ago at an antique store in CA.   I decided it was time to do something with the blocks.  I think the stripes were from a sample book because they had something resembling paste on each one.  I washed the blocks and found that fabric had been cut into 5" squares but they weren't exact.  I used my Accuquilt GO to cut them into 4 1/2" squares.  The GO cuts a perfect square each time.  I then sewed them all together.

I will make them into a quilted tablerunner.  The backing will be a red and white polka dot feed sack fabric which I also purchased an antique store years ago.  I'll post a photo of the finished tablerunner tomorrow.  It will be a hostess gift for a friend I'm visiting later this month.
