Set of C. 1930s Quilt Block Patterns in Original Envelopes covers with royalty and high-ranking officialsFound at a flea market in Adamstown, PA, which seemed just the right place to find them, this is a set of 7 printed quilt square patterns in their original envelopes, plus an eighth envelope that is empty, c. 1930s I believe.

Each envelope measures 6 1 2" x 3
