OK so i have fabric from say 1977 that i purchased to make a log cabin quilt from either family circle or woman's day magazine. Was going to be my wedding quilt.Had to make paper patterns and hand cut the pieces. Then my mom passed down some yo-yos from my grandmother who passed in '88. I remember her sewing back in the '60's early '70's. She was so happy that i learned to sew in '68 but didn't approve of using patterns. She cut her own. I would say the yo-yos were from the '60's.
