This was my thoughts also.

Recognizing I consider Jan in VA an outstanding contributor and resource to members of this board, I am pleased to say when I saw the blocks I thought 1890 primarily because they strongly reminded me of a quilt I used (and wore out, alas!) as a child. My quilt was probably done by great-grandmother BUT I do have a TATW top of hers that I quilted and some of the fabrics are similar. She appliqued "1906" in very center square of her fabrics.
P.S. As I recall, yes some of the fabric was very thin it faded while I had it on the frame, but it was hard to needle.
P.P.S. Some of your blocks look like later seersucker shirt/dress fabrics

I love the old fabrics but have never learned to "date" them. I do not recoginize them as being any of the 1940 feedsack prints that so many women used in that era. Jan in VA sounds pretty "right on" though. I think she is probably right.

I agree with late1800 to early 1900s. I own a quilt from that era with some of those similar fabrics.

I totally agree with MaryMo. I see several fabrics that the guys wore in this time frame.

Thank you for your thoughts, everyone. Now......what do you all think that they might be worth. I don't think that I would ever sell them. But am curious what you all think they would be worth if you were to buy them with the intent to do something special with them.
