I found a whole box of them in my sewing room...must date back to the late 80's early 90's!

I used to hand piece a lot in Alaska and even taught it in the villages, but here in OK I rarely teach and when I do you can bet it is NOT going to be hand piecing!
I suppose they could be used for regular piecing, these are for making 12" blocks!

I wouldn't get rid of them....they are treasures to keep! You might find out you may use them one day or you could use them for a display in your studio area. I just love old treasures.
