I don't know what this pattern is. My mind played a trick. Anyway - this is the top. It is huge, there are 2 more rows hanging over the rail behind what is shown All the fabrics I think are old, I took close-ups of them for you more experienced ladies and gentleman to decide. The flowers are hand sewn on a muslin foundation then the blocks were machine sewn together.

Very pretty. I am not so good at guessing the time for the fabrics but just guessing...I would say it is from the '40s early 50s! Just guessing though. Will be interesting to see what others say!

I think they are earlier than 40's-50's. They look very much like fabrics in some blocks my mom made in the very early 30's.
