Aging fabric
A friend of mine asked me to work on a quilt that her grandmother made. There are a number of sections that need to be replaced. While I feel like I have a handle on how to work on the repair (I think anyway - time will tell). When I am looking for fabric for that patching it is all so new looking next to the other fabrics in the quilt.
Is there a way to "age" new fabric so it won't look as new against the older fabric in the quilt? I understand it will always look newer, I would just like to dim the newness a little bit
any suggestions?
thanks
