Reproduction prints wouldn't have a crepe texture, but lots of fabrics did in the 60's. The only print I recognize is also from the mid to late 60's. If they all have that texture, then they are most likely all from the same time.

I graduated from high school in the mid 50s and our colors were more subdued and smaller prints. This reminds me of the 1960s when anything went as far as color combinations. I saw a quilt book from the 1960s and the colors and prints were very similar. I have a feeling that since it was machine pieced the maker intended to machine quilt also. Women were proud of their ability to quilt on their sewing machines. Decorative stitches were still a novelty on their sewing machines.

./Yes there will be an appraiser at Paducah. Call and make a reservation so you will be sure to be on the list. Of course, then let us know what you find out. A lovely quilt and I will be wonderful when you have quilted it.
