Some of the fabrics look like some I got from my DM's stash that came from the late 60's and 70's. It is so pretty, you are so lucky to have found it.

Some of the fabrics look like feed sacks so I would guess some 40s and later.

I've tried to attach a pic of a quilt top I received for Christmas from a friend. It is hand pieced. The interesting thing is that many of the triangles themselves are pieced (some three pieces to make one triangle). Just sandwiched it and backed with muslin. Going to hand quilt.

It is definitely older fabric.. at least back to the 50's or perhaps a bit earlier

Some of the small flower prints remind me of the 30's.

I bought a top from an estate sale that was hand pieced and since I don't hand quilt I tied it.

Looks like something my mom made years ago. She would be 87 years old if she were alive.
