Interestingly, if you have only four blocks they also could have been made for a baby quilt.
In those days, I cannot remember ever seeing any small quilts hanging on a wall for decoration.
....and it is hard to see how they would go on a tea towel.
Those olden days, tea towels and lots amd lots of household items were printed with the embroidery in washable blue ink
patterns, and the embroidery was done directly on them.
