Norma's rescue and leftovers

Here is another 1940's "rescue" quilt from Norma. 
The blocks were hand pieced by an unknown maker, some of the 9 patch pieces are even pieced to make them large enough for use in this quilt.  This is my kind of piecing!

Norma wanted a more masculine design on this one, and the "Amazing border"design.  So, a swirly pattern on the body of the quilt, and a different border.

And a "string pieced" quilt.  One where you take all those little scraps that are too big to throw away, but too small to keep and piece them into new blocks.  Norma consistently used the white as the center of her blocks.  Nicely done.
