    Wonderful scrappy quilt with great stitching, even looks like it might not be 100% cotton fabrics (?)

    I agree. 70's most likely, since I just finished a quilt that my DH's GM started and I finished about 3 years ago for my MIL. It was all clothing scraps and most were polys and blends.

    From the look of the fabric shown....i'd say it's from the 50-60's ? Nice job on you finding it
