Yes, I agree, they look like Trichem pieces, where you paint the pictures and then do whatever you want with them. They would make some nice pillows...or quilt them. You could give them to a Senior Club if not wanted and they would do something with them. If you have grandchildren, let them paint them and make a quilt.

The first pic looks like panels that you can put together with borders, although they are cut pretty close to the print, to make a quilt.

The second pic looks like something you could either embroider with thread or yarn, then sew together to make a quilt. You'd lose the cute border but could really jazz it up with bright spring colors.

Oh, hey! I just got the top one at MY Goodwill, but it's in blue. Too funny. I got it for my mom because she loves Americana stuff. Mine were all on one pc., though, not cut apart. I thought she could either make throw pillows out of the sections, or put strips around them to make into quilt squares.

The second photo with the stars are Thimbleberries...They had lots of coordinating fabrics a few years ago...one of the best things I saw done with them was "coloring" them with crayons and heat setting them (just a gentle shading with various colors) and then setting them into squares using an assortment of other Thimbleberry fabrics. You might check the Thimbleberries site and see if there are any pictures floating around!

Put them in small picture frames and hang them.

This idea offering sounds like a winner to me. Great find. Lucky you!

Also the earlier idea for the red and white blocks being put into quilt blocks is a good one. If the space for seams is too small, the blocks could be appliqued onto a block rather that sashed.
Have fun!

Aunt Martha had a lot of that kind of stuff for finishing when I was a kid in the 40's

Sew them together and make a wall hanging, unless they would be suitable for a quilt. If so make quilts out of them.
