Thank you all for your comments on the age. Didn't think about feed sacks but that just might be what they are from.

Maybe 1940's'.

That one with the purple/orange flowers is definitely a feed sack fabric, so maybe 30's or 40's.

I just found a site called Textiles.com that has a bunch of stuff about different fabrics.

BTW, I love the quilt, what a find!

I recognize the green, red, and white and black flowers as feed sack fabric

It's definitely feed sack fabric. It's lovely. I love the old quilts. I would be in favor of hand quilting, but it can be machine or LA quilted. I would not quilt it heavy, though. Just simple like a hand quilter would do.
