    Hi All ! I found this quilt at a TS and was wondering if anyone can tell me how vintage it is ? I was hoping the material and print would be a clue.
    I'm thinking 60's-70's maybe ?
    My flash brightened up the colors quite a bit.

    you say top.......so it's not backed with any other fabric ?

    Not an expert in quilts, but some of the fabrics appear to be possibly as early as the 40's/50's and agree, as late as the 60's or 70's. I'm sure others will comment.

    Cute!

    I agree with Lucille.b. While I'm no expert, I've had my hands on quite a lot of vintage prints. My mother is an avid quilter and has combined many old vintage prints with today's prints to make quilts.

    Komokwa, the pieces of material are sewn into triangles and pieced together into squares so it looks the same on both sides. No further layer has been added so I was thinking it was just a top but maybe it's finished like this, no further layer needed ?
    Quilts and material are not my area, this just caught my eye because it's so big and in such good shape.
    Thank you Lucille, I appreciate the help from you both. :)

    Later. 1950s. (Just) old enough to remember.
