Those quilts are fantastic! I would so love to help you if I lived closer. The first one has many names - I knew is as a Hummingbird quilt because there was a show by Georgia Bonesteel back in the 80's and she called it that. Well, I looked all over the place for it and no quilt shop had heard of a hummingbird quilt, so I finally wrote to her and ask asked. She not only responded, she sent me the pattern. She told me at the time how many names it has so you may get a lot of different names.
I did a GFG quilt with 2 inch hexis and that seemed to take forever. Looking at the one you have is incredible. So lovely!

They are beautiful tops. The first is called hummingbird by Darlene Zimmerman. I am sure it will have other names but this is a class I took giving it it’s name I don’t know the name of the 3rd but it is interesting

I can't help you with the names of the ones you are not familiar with but wanted to let you know how lucky you are to receive all of these. This is quite a treasure trove and it sounds like you will really enjoy finishing these wonderful vintage quilts.
