The brocade fabric with swastikas would have been very popular among the elite in theWorld War I era. This is just a guess, but the fabric may have been used in a quilt to show disdain for the print and the fabricators of it. At the time that this fabric would have been used in a simple (but beautiful) quilt, was probably right after Germany fell. Up to that time the fabric was probably in a formal gown for special occasions.
I just saw your comment about left and right facing swastikas and that makes me doubt my first response. Having swastikas both directions makes it an older piece of goods, since that design would be pre WWI because after WWI no one used swastikas to decorate anything due to the image used by Nazi Germany.

Reason: Right and left facing swastikas?
