Great-great granny

What a beautiful 'find'. I also think from the 30's. I have a butterfly quilt w/BF's exactly like those I bought in an yard sale that is from the 30's. It has yellow sashing between the blocks & REALLY heavy batting. Whoever made it, made it for warmth - but is still pretty.

Looking forward to see pics of the finished product.

Looks like to me they are from the 30's and 40's. Thats my guess, they sure are beautiful, I can't wait to see the finished quilt made with them.

I have some fabric scraps from the 30's and 40's that I got from my grandmother years ago. It is not enough to make a quilt but I have some more fabric from my mother from the 50s and thought it be nice to sew a quilt with both fabrics in rememberance of both of them.

I agree with BellllaBoo. I don 't think these fabrics look like they are from the 1930's. Let us know when you find out.

My mother made a quilt like this in the 50's-60's, but hard telling how long she'd had the fabric or kit or whatever she had to make this quilt - and yes, it was beautiful when it was done - she hand appliqued all the butterflies onto the blocks and then sewing with the machine - but the quilt top together; but she always tied her quilts - using nice pretty color yarns; the little "tails" she left with the ties, looked like baby butterflies to me when I saw the quilt - so pretty, and inviting; but being white background became a Sunday only quilt on the bed and no one ever laid on it to get it dirty... not sure what happened to it as years went on - wish I knew!
