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

I agree with those who think 60's-80's. They sure look like fabric I used during those years for dresses for my girls.
I would not hesitate to use newer fabrics with them. |
I once had one of your fabrics, and it was bought in the late 70's. While a lot of your fabrics appear to be from the 70's and 80's, some are probably earlier fabrics.

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. |
I agree...I have lots of vintage fabric and these fabrics are not that old. I'd also say 70's to 80's. Go ahead and add to it from your stash.

I agree that these fabrics are probably from around the 70's. I don't define that as vintage, but there are younger people in my family that think that 1995 is vintage!
Have fun with them! Dayle |
Looks like 60's to 80's to me. All look really nice.
|
Looks like 70's to me--probably still have some just like you have!
|
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this information!

I see at least 2 in there that are in my stash and they are 1970 and 80 don't know about the others but they do not look antique
