Truly 1930s butterfly blocks

I too would try hand washing one block by hand to see if the 'crispiness' goes away. I'd tend to sew them into a wall hanging - something that would not need frequent laundering. Good luck - they are beautiful!

Several years ago my mother found a set of butterfly blocks that look just like yours and were made by my grandmother. She could have made them into a quilt, but instead she used individual blocks and made small wallhangings for all of the family members (nieces, grandkids, everybody). It was a good way to share them.
You have enough there to make a beautiful quilt. I agree about a test washing to help determine what is going on with the crispiness. Please keep up informed!
