I think late 60's or early 70's. They sure are nice!

They look like 30's to me, and butterflies of that nature were also very popular at that time.
They are so cute!! Great find :)

I started to lay them all out...yes they are all hand stitched. I think it may have to be a wall quilt...so afraid they may get ruin on the bed with my cats. The blocks are different sizes may are large but some a bit smaller though the butterflies are all the same size. Total of 23 of them. Someone had fun making them. I am going through my fabrics and think I need to use one with flowers on them. I want to use what I have in the closet....more stash than I thought I had...always shocked when I peek in my closet.

If they are not reproductions - the 1930s.

Some of the fabrics look like the same ones that are in a quilt my grandmother made. 1930's for sure.
