Feels like poly/knit.

Yes back in the 70's quilts made from leftover fabrics from sewing clothing was poly knit. I made one back then and have a mixture of knit and cotton in it.

My guess-'70's. The stitching on top is great--took a lot of time. Nice find.

I'd say the 70's, too. I have 2 very similar that my mom made for me when starting up housekeeping and we still use them for warm comforts.

I agree with 70s. Reminds me of the quilt I have that my mom made out of polyknits left from the dresses she sewed.

Don't you just love shopping at Goodwill? Glad we have the pound store even cheaper prices and you never know what will show up each day. You got a beautiful quilt, Quilt Rescue believe it is. LOL
