If anyone can date the fabric by looking, I would appreciate it. It was a church yard sale so no one knew who donated it. Wish I knew its history.
There is one hot pink flower, so it looks like it might not be much older than the fifties...when was flourescent dye first used in fabrics?
Otherwise, it is impossible to tell from the photo because the details are too small.
