This quilt was made in 1960 by my Great Grandmother and Grandmother. Hope this helps you date yours.
My grandmother (I must be quite a bit older than you) used that type of fabric when she made quilts for us - she made them in the 30's, 40's, and 50's. By the fifties, the fabric was a bit more modern; yours looks like something from the 30's - 40's. Maybe they just saved the fabric.
