those panels look like they could be to make quilt Labels.

How fortunate you are to find something like that. I am totally envious of you. I have found myself going back about three or four times trying to decide what I would do if they were mine and still can't make up my mind.

I would frame one set to hang on the walls of my sewing room. Then use the second set in a quilt. You have so many possibilites. I don't envy you having to decide. I have had a few treasures like that at Rummage sales. Good luck!

I found a few small bags of fabric and large bag of patterns. I still have to go through it all and figure out some of the patterns, but I am loving this one panel. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I will most definatly use it in a quilt. I got all of it for $9.50. Could not believe it!
Anyone have ideas for a quilt pattern for these panels?

What a treasure trove! Please show us what you do with those wonderful printed blocks! I like the red, cream/white, & blue idea given by another on this site.... Anyway, it will be beautiful!

They are nice at Cranston, and like quilters!
Are they meant to be colored with fabric crayons, ironed
to make them permanent and made into a book or quilt? Does it say?
I must say I like them in black and white!
