They're all gorgeous. You could sell them on eBay or Etsy.

A quilt is only as old as the last stitch put into it. Don't mess with them, let whomever buys them do that if they so desire.
Quilts and tops tend to go too cheap on ebay. I'd try Etsy, or wait for a quilt show, get a booth and sell them there. (If you ask for a discount, most quilt shows will allow you to sell for little or no charge, for a charity)

I wondered this too. Amish use only solids.

the reason I say Amish is the lady was raised in N. Indiana and at 24 yrs old, bought personally from the Amish. I will ask her if she gave them the fabric to make it. All hand sewn.

Not only are those not Amish fabrics, the patterns aren't Amish either.

They may not be Amish, but they are beautiful. I would raffle them as-is. I want to buy some tickets!
