What would you consider "vintage"? And would clothing, for instance, require more age than a quilt or quilt block to be called vintage? It seems to me the word is sometimes used all over the board, especially when an item is for sale.
Yours are definitely vintage. I was taught that anything 20-50 years old is considered vintage, and anything 50 years and older is considered antique.
