Obviously, someone cherished these quilts because they are so well preserved. And, now, in your hands, will be equally protected. I do not have a clue or knowledge of quilt design periods/age but that tulip is definitely not of this generation.

I have one very similar that was done in the 1930s. Pink and green were popular then.

Lucky you. Beautiful quilt. BrendaK

Thanks all. I think probably the 1930s too. Both of the identical quilts are in very good shape given their age. I gave the executor $150 for the pair; she was grateful for the cash even though I gave her additional ideas about how she might get more if she did more work to market them.

I have two young granddaughters whose mom (my DDIL) cherishes quilts and heirlooms, so these are going to them. Yesterday I soaked them in a special product for antique textiles, washed them on delicate and laid them out to dry flat. They are now clean and ready to go to their new home. They will be preserved and by the time the girls are grown, they really will be "over 100 years old," as the former owner believed.

Ditto above on being an expert, but that pink looks like the color in a quilt I slept under as a child. I think my aunt made it, but anyway, it was made in the 20's or 30's as my older sister slept under it, too. and she is 11 years older than I am.

I have one that is the same pattern and colors and has an embroidered name and date of 1932 on it.

The 1930's in my guess. It reminds me of a sunburst quilt that I have from my mother. It was made for her by ladies at her church and given to her at her wedding shower. She was married in 1935

c joyce...great info! I think the consensus here is 1930s. Than you so much!

Just loving the old fashioned quilts - the applique, the colors and wow-the great condition. Lucky you-great purchase.
