I've posted several threads of projects that I've finished for quilters who've either passed away or given me their discarded blocks etc. I received a bag of what looked to be hand cut triangles. Some are slightly age stained. I don't think these are new repro. fabrics. I'm pretty sure they're the real deal. I sewed together the triangles and am working on squaring the blocks. I LOVE the fabrics. I'm thinking 50's or 60's?? I've also include a photo of hand pieced blocks that were included. These are also the real deal, I think but would like others opinions.
Let me just be clear that I also starched and cut away a lot of frayed fabric to make the blocks look so nice. I think the fabric was worth saving, don't you?? |
Those are 30's. Very popular right now, you will be able to find anything you want to go with them.

Wow, 30's? I was thinking maybe 30's but didn't want to jinx it. It was very cool going through the bag. I've also got 6 star blocks squared up and sashed that are now complete. I don't know what to do with the unfinished star blocks in the photo. I'm thinking about the easiest way to get them into a quilt...

They look like feed sack fabric to me---30's and 40's. Wonderful, beautiful fabrics that wear like iron.
|
30's or reproduction 30's. They're beautiful.

I was thinking 30's to before I saw everyone else's answers woo hoo I'm learning hehehe

I agree.. I'm pretty sure those are 30's and maybe 40's would have to feel them to be for sure... but I don't think they are repros.. some of them look very familiar to me.
Like some fabric in some of my grandmother and great grandmothers quilts. |
WOW!!! You really scored big with those :D:D:D
