    I'd say sixties or a little earlier.

    I think the tilted nine patch with the pink could be earlier than the 30's, looks to me like turn of the century. A close-up of the fabrics would help more.

    I believe the bow tie could be older as well. Hard to tell with solids and plaids.

    Great find!! congrats.

    I was thinking 70's....specially on that first one. I would love to examine these in person.

    I have no idea how old they are but I love them especially the bow tie. What a wonderful treasure!

    The squares with men's shirting are probably late 50's or early 60's. The bright criss-cross is 60's fabric. I used the same stuff at that time

    After the Depression was over some people didn't like quilts, because it meant you were too poor to buy yourself a blanket.
