I really have no idea how old the top is. I was out in West Texas visiting my aunt one day, and she kind of casually handed a couple of quilt tops to me and said, "These were in Grandma's stuff, and I figured you were the only one who might want them. I started to just give them to Goodwill, but then I thought of you."

So they almost got given away. I don't know any of the history behind them. The other one is a signature quilt, so I am hoping we can look up the people on the internet and at least find out what town we are talking about. The grandma who had them didn't do a lot of sewing, so they may have been gifts. I just don't know. Maybe people who can date fabrics could tell more about the date range.
