    definitely some 40's in there. they may have been saved into the 5o's and then sewn together all at once.

    How do you plan to quilt it? By hand or machine? It really is a great find and so very well put together. I'd hate to think that some of my UFO's would end up in a garage sale for $5.

    I'm planning to start quilting it tomorrow. I need to put a new needle in my Tin Lizzie and decide on what to use for the backing. I have a bunch of backings ready, I think I'll go with something plain for the back because the top is so busy. I'll post a picture when it's done. Thanks to all for the nice comments. I do feel so lucky, still smileing!

    You go girl. What a find. Looks like 50's fabric to me. Can't wait to see finished product.

It is very large, 88X93. The workmanship is vey nice, points meet, seams presed etc. I can't wait to quilt it. Any ideas out there of when it was made?
    What a treasure! Can't wait to see it when you've finished quilting it!

    That would be my guess too - but not younger than early 60s.

    The fabric looks like the 50s vintage.
