Antique LaMoyne Stars

These are soaking as I type this.

I don't even know how many there are.

I purchased them (quite reasonably)

last weekend.

There was a large quilt-top as well

of the same blocks

that I didn't purchase.

Now I'm kicking myself

and trying to get a hold of the folks

to see if they still have it.

Some of them had some

mystery spots so I used

Grandma's spot remover, 

then a wash with orvis,

and now a 'kinda' second soak.

There was a surprise in the bundle.

They all have a 'spotted muslin' background,

except...

It's the same size, 

same size of stitches and so forth.

Makes me wonder if it was a little joke

or if there was a story to go with it.

I will wait and see what I can come up with

as far as getting the quilt top
before I do anything with these.

My suspicion is that they are pre-1900,

but I'm not very good at quilt dating

with the exception of some crazy quilts

(yep the ones with the dates stitched into them:?)

heehee

~Have a wonderful weekend~

Until next time,
