Lot of 30 mid century vintage quilt blocks with hand stitched applique and embroidery, all butterflies on unbleached muslin backgrounds.

These are a little roughly made, faces on the butterflies are sometimes a little crooked, or the cotton blocks not perfectly sized or centered. (Smallest block is about 9" x 10".)

The cotton fabrics used for the butterflies were mostly 'rag bag' pieces of old dresses, aprons, shirts and do have some fading, or spots. Very charming, anyway!
