Yes, it is a '30's pattern. The blocks were all handpieced by a lady who lived to be 98! I found these blocks (along with others) at the bottom of a box when I was helping her daughter relocate to another place. I've written this before, but my husband and I had carried out several boxes of what my friend thought were trash. All of a sudden I swear that I heard a small voice calling out "help me, help me!" from the box I had in my hands. When I lifted out all the papers and junk, nestled under all this were Sunbonnet Sue blocks, the butterfly blocks, and some crazy quilt blocks.
When I gave them to my friend (who is now in her 80's, she said she had completely forgotten about them). At that my husband, my friend, and I all rushed out to the truck to dig through the other boxes of "trash."
Outcome: my friend asked me to take these blocks and to give them to the people who knew her late mother. She also wanted me to make a quilt out of the butterflies, since she knew that design is one of my favorites. We estimate that the butterfly blocks were made circa 1950.
I have a treasure...and a load of memories with this quilt! :lol:
