printed treasures

while i'm working on this challenge, i got out my "used" packet of printed treasures as well as my "new" one. i don't remember when i originally bought the older one ( less than 7 years), but it still had one sheet. that sheet looked kinda yellowed, so i opened the new packet and they are snow white! i've had it in original packaging, not open to air, so am not sure what happened or when. i'm only using the ones from the new package for this project, don't know what i'll do with the creamy colored old one.

just thot i'd mention this in case anyone is saving sheets for a special project, or if you might want to use another brand in case the yellowing is something that would offend a project you are doing. i'm almost wondering if maybe the paper backing has caused the problem, does anyone know if it is acid free? maybe i'll give the company a call sometime next week.

i'm still looking for online sources for wilderness-named blocks but have barbara brackman's book "encyclopedia of quilt blocks" coming to me from the library thanx to judy's suggestion.
