I agree with MaryMo. They look like early 50's.

I'd say 1930's I see some feed and flour sacks that my Mom had in quilts. Lucky you for your find. I love them.

My mother did both the sunbonnet girl and the elephant for me when I was a baby - that was nearly 70 years ago - with similar patterns in her fabric...... not much help I'm afraid, but at least you know the approximate time. Love them all - and my grandmother did a lot of dresden plate quilts during that era also - looks similar to what she used also...

Not sure but I have a Sunbonnet Sue quilt I got at an estate sale that the girls look similar to yours. I got it for $10 and am using it on my bed...from what others are telling you I may have to put it on display instead! I also have a complete set of sunbonnet Sue and the boy one (I forgot his name) blocks from the same sale that will make 2 more quilts...

I agree with 1930s era. That elephant is so darn cute. A great find.

Looks like they were done with flour sack materials from the 1930s.

Just terrific, great find and thank you for sharing, look like feed sack fabric maybe 40's or 50's
