Quilt Blocks Children Of Israel Set Of 17 Vintage Cotton Blue Pink Center Square

Description

Here is a set of 17 vintage quilt blocks in a variation of the Children of Israel pattern, #2424, in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Patterns by Barbara Brackman.  It is categorized as a Square in a Square.   The name originated with Carrie Hall.  I am using the term variation as some of the patches should be pieced, but these blocks do not have that characteristic.
Blocks are hand pieced and each measures approximately 6 1/2" square.    Fabrics are vintage cottons and the same fabrics in blue and pink are used in the majority of the blocks.
These blocks have some overall soiling and fading.
All of the blocks are pictured in the first collage photo.
When working with vintage fabric, blocks, tops or quilts, prior quilting and piecing experience is helpful. Pieces were not rotary cut and cutting templates and patterns may not have been square. Pieced items may not be flat. Vintage items may have a musty or storage odor.
