I have a quilt that my great grandmother made back in the 30's and my mom says it is made from all her(great grandma's) old dresses. Had it appraised and it was worth $500.00 only. The lady said there are way too many 30's quilts around because babyboomers are getting their parents things now. it is in great shape. That's about all I know from the 30's other than I really love the fabrics from that era.
