I agree
Any 30's fabric will work; the ones you show are fine
Since the blocks aren't small, I think a 9-patch would look good.
I'd probably mix in 30's solids with the prints
Also, you could consider making the embroidered blocks into an arrowhead (triangle of 30s fabric sewn into opposing sides). Gives you a secondary design in the corners alternating with the 9-patch block. Much easier than it sounds. Clear as mud, right.
