30's or 40's - Kind of look like feed sack material.

If you're going to be doing some shopping in RC, be sure to find The Quilt Corral and Misletoe Ranch, I think it's back in Hill City. 6000+ bolts of fabrics!

I'd guess 1930's from what I've gotten from my grandmother and my mom

The person who put all the work into those butterflies would be happy to know they are finally going to be a quilt! Remember, these were probably made without die cutters, etc...

Hart Cottage Quilts has some good information about fabrics from the 30s.

They mostly look like 20-s and 30s. Butterflies were a popular motif then too

What a coincidence. I have some of the identical butterfly patterned blocks from an auction and 2 have the very same fabric as yours. They're on my to-do list for fall. Hope you enjoy yours, too!
