They are 12 pre-stamped Vogart blocks. They seem to be in sets of two, based on the use of different colored stamping ink. The blocks measured about 8' square before I soaked them to remove some of the yellowing from age. I will now have to trim them to 6 1/4" square to get them back to all the same size.
I purchased some yellow fabric to use for sashing, border and backing. I am looking forward to completing the quilt.
Farmer Brown and Mrs. Brown are Set A
Butch Brown and Baby Brown are Set B
Mrs. Brown's Chickens and Mr. Brown's Geese are Set C
Mr. Brown's Pigs and Mrs. Brown's Lambs are Set D
Mr. Brown's Cow and Baby Brown's Pony are Set E
Hee-Haw and Billy are Set F
I've arranged them in pairs, according to their stamp ink color. At the bottom of the blocks is printed "Vogart for Value Approx. 8 x 16" Made in U. S. A. " and "15-No. 877 - D - QUILT BLOCKS - 100% COTTON - RN19568".
Note: I just noticed that there are six sets: A, B, C, D, E and F, so I have edited to reflect that.
If you have any additional information about these, please let me know! There is not much on Vogart blocks online that I can find.
I hope you enjoy these and I will post pictures of the completed quilt when I have finished it!
