History: I am NOT a Folk Art expert, or quilt expert, I purchased three of these from an estate sale (very vibrant and excellent condition) and was told they were very old.
After a bit of research, they appear to be made in the 80's (1980's, not 1880's) and from what I found someone named Barbara Brackman was linked to Pea Ridge Purities (the stamp on each quilt) HOWEVER the pieces (there are three sold separately) NONE are stamped or signed with Barbara's name, only Pea Ridge Purities.
Measurements are approximate:
#3 25.5" x 32"
#4 24.5" x 32.25"
#5 31.75" x 24"
SOLD: Before purchasing, do your own research prior to purchase.
