Don't get too high hopes about the money value or historical value. They may be just bed quilt used to keep warm. The army blankets are not necessarily a criteria for their sentemental worth either. Best to have someone look at them who is knowledge about quilts and not just a quilter. A quilt appraiser would be the best person to consult although he/she would most likely charge. I may be in Raleigh later on this year at the Original Sewing and Quilt Expo and would be glad to look at them for you if you don't fine anyone in the meantime. Army blankets for batting make me think they may be late 1940's but fabric would be the identifyer.
