Little Quilt Top Scraps

While looking through great-aunt Clara's scrapbag, I came across these two little remnants. I doubt they were intended as doll quilts. Great-aunt Clara and her husband didn't have any children and she had only one nephew (my father-in-law). I think these may have been intended to be larger quilts, but were never finished.


This one is 20" square. The blocks are 1 1/2" inches.


This one is 20"x24". The nine patches are 3" square.

    I am working on my own reproduction using 1-1/2" hst out of the 30's fabrics. I loved seeing both of your treasures.

    oh my how adorable, what a lucky find!
    I think I would finish both of these off as little quilts.
    just love those nine patches, they always make me smile!
    what will you do with them?

    They are beautiful, are you going to quilt them? Real family heirlooms.
