    I agree with MaryMo. They look like early 50's.

    I'd say 1930's I see some feed and flour sacks that my Mom had in quilts. Lucky you for your find. I love them.

    My mother did both the sunbonnet girl and the elephant for me when I was a baby - that was nearly 70 years ago - with similar patterns in her fabric...... not much help I'm afraid, but at least you know the approximate time. Love them all - and my grandmother did a lot of dresden plate quilts during that era also - looks similar to what she used also...

    Not sure but I have a Sunbonnet Sue quilt I got at an estate sale that the girls look similar to yours. I got it for $10 and am using it on my bed...from what others are telling you I may have to put it on display instead! I also have a complete set of sunbonnet Sue and the boy one (I forgot his name) blocks from the same sale that will make 2 more quilts...

    Looks like they were done with flour sack materials from the 1930s.
