Old quilt blocks

These are really neat. I think I would trim them up and frame them...maybe in a collage. Putting the little ones in the same frame with a black felt background.
I think the one referred to as nazi is called a
rolling pinwheel. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely old blocks .. and I wouldn't get rid of any of them.
Those blocks.. one of which is called Flyfoot.. and the symbols were around LONG before Adolph Hitler.. it is just unfortunate that he chose it for a symbol to "misuse". Can't wait to see what you make! A lovely piece of quilting history.

they almost look like they could be Dear Jane blocks...I would press them really good using starch and then re-size them to be sure they are all the same size and use them in something...I love old materials etc
