    My mom had these in her attic with my name on them. These all all vintage fabrics not sure how old. And already sewed together!! I am so excited!! I just need to find something that matches for the centers.

    Wow I just counted them and there are 120!! Someone sure was busy! We believe they came from an elderly neighbor of my moms. When she passed away my mom got a lot of her sewing things.

    What a great find! They are so beautiful I would have fun just looking at each one of them. Please keep us posted when you figure out what your going to do with them, and remember if you need help or ideas just ask away! :D
