I also would guess the 60s or the 70s too. I just might have some of those plaids in my stash !!

I agree the pink one is likely from the "30's....The first one is interesting, too. I remember some of that fabric in the 40's for sure..my grandmother had a love of plaid and purple! The last one is more like 60's and 70's and the "Bow Tie" could be anything from the 30' on up. I would look at the back of the first one..it looks like it might be feedsack material..if it is it would have some needle holes and that would help date it in the 30's

Yes, I agree. We have one that my grandparents made in the late 1920's with that pink as the center appliqué on a beige background. The only other one I'd venture a guess on is the last one. The green/blue/orange fabric could be late 60's early 70's. The rest look like they used fabrics from clothing as someone else mentioned. My great-grandmother and grandmother rarely bought 'new' fabric to make a quilt.

What a great find, I think the first quilt could be 30's or 30's. The others 60's or 70's. I hope you keep them or pass them to other quilt lovers who will treasure them.

My mom made most of my clothes in the 1950's and I had a dress made out of the backing fabric on the first quilt. Not sure if they're all from that era but that one definitely is from the 1950's.

just looking at those pictures. I would think maybe 50's-60's. I myself dont feel like the 70's. I dont know if a quilt appraiser could give you a better ideal. Let me know, what you find out. I'm a little curious myself. Don

The first few look like fabrics from the 50's the last one looks like the early 60's.
