Post Quilt Dating- Mixed Period Fabrics

Hi everyone,
I have a quilt with feedsack fabric backing, and what I believe is mostly feedsack fabrics on the star design as well. It is machine pieced, with hand stitching as well.

Some of the fabrics are woven, while others that are very similar in color have a much silkier feel to them. It looks to me as if some of these blue fabrics are newer rather than the original feedsack blue fabric. Anyone know what period the silkier fabrics might be dated to?

I appreciate any insight!
