Either this gentleman knew the quilts were going to a really good home, or he had no idea the work and talent that went into making these quilts. The 2 applique the kittys in the basket and the roosters look like the 30's to me. The green star looks like cross stitch. You have double wedding ring quilt or quilts, and radiant star quilts. (I have never attempted those!) All those seams coming together in one place, and they are flat quilts! He had star quality workmanship on those, especially when you consider they were probably hand pieced, not paper pieced.

What a wonderful slice of history you have.
