Can anyone tell me how old these fabrics might be, please?

They look like they would make a lap quilt...I would sew them and put muslin on the back. Mix with your fabrics if you want after all its yours!! There's a story to quilts and this one is yours make it how you want it and I would use what you have. Isn't that what quilting used to be about! Buying a new "old" look fabric is the same as using what you have. Just my opinion. Good luck

Since there is such a wide assortment of fabric designs then you can add to it without effecting the look.
If you want to be more accurate and don't have the stash, then look in antique shops for fabric. Very often the booths will have rolls of fabric left from dressmaking.
It appears to be left from dressmaking or other clothing. I would date the overall look to probably in the 1950" even there might be fabric from prior years.
