I thought this fabric was from the 1960's.
Date of quilt flimsy must be late 1960's. That is why when we found it last summer that Mom could not remember piecing those patches. One half of a century old UFO ( unfinished object) just folded up in a plastic bag!

That "UFO" is a treasure for sure, Lin!...:)JP
I loved this when you shared this on Instagram. I love the photo of your mom. This is such a fun project to share with us.
I do like that UFO thought. ;-)
As the daughter of and sister to addicted quilters, I was stumped by flimsy, so looked it up. I have great sympathy for that word. My sister rescues quilt tops and finishes them. She says a grandma in heaven says "Look, Ethel, she finished my quilt!" every time another is done. I think my mother made shirts for my girls from that fabric.
Such lovely feminine fabrics we wore back in the day.
