Fading new fabric?
Hello All, I am repairing a 1920's dresden plate rounded blade top quilt. It has been stashed away in my parents house for decades. At some point my father (former Tailor) carefully cut out the 18 damaged blades and was going to hand sew/replace them. However his hands were not able to stand that type of hand stitching anymore. I have had the quilt for awhile now and decided that I was going to finally replace the missing blades. I have extensive hand piecing and quilting experience and I have made the needed templates for the blades. I have some 1920's reproduction fabrics and a few vintage scraps that will work well but they are to bright. Has anyone purposely faded fabrics to better match vintage fabrics? If so how?
