Dating old fabric
My friend gave me two quilt that her 96yo father had. He just passed away and she wanted me to have them and I am honored by her. I'd like to date the fabric. The quilt looks to be machine stitched and hand quilted. I have one book that has samples of what older fabrics look like, but it has 20 year spans. But, the fabric does look like it was made in the 30' or 40's.
Is anyone aware of a webite that I might be able to send a photo of the fabric so that I can get when it was made narrowed down to maybe a decade?
