Default thrift shop quilt--60s or 70s fabric?

I found this at a thrift shop for $2 so I bought it. It looks like fabric from the 60s or 70s, what do you think?

Some of the blocks are fraying/pulling apart and the front is turned over and stitched to a hospital blanket backing--stamped Trumbull Memorial Hospital (which I looked up and is in Warren, OH).

I'm thinking of taking off the ties and removing from the backing, machine stitching all the blocks that need re-sewn, and putting on a different back, finishing with an envelope instead of binding. A lot of work, but worth it, do you think?
