I have two blocks that are identical to two I found in an outdated EBay post, and that are almost identical to a quilt in the Smithsonian.<br /><br />https://www.si.edu/object/nmaahc_2007.7.263<br /><br />Who knows whether the Smithsonian version is a very old one, and the Pea Ridge Purdies were later copies? Mine has muslin tea-dipped off white sections, identical mouths and eyes, dark blue with white stars on the framing pieces, and the same little red and white striped pants, along with small prints on the shirts, the top hat, and a hat band with white stars on a dark blue field.Sierran Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553680331142932715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-289466493716180465.post-58667673635213426122015-07-17T07:08:58.368-05:002015-07-17T07:08:58.368-05:00Although I have found many opal phillip patterns i...Although I have found many opal phillip patterns in Cuesta's pattern collection, I would love to find this pattern.
