It's not easy to find repro fabrics from that era & any repro quilting fabrics would be 100% cotton so they won't be a perfect match anyways. I was thinking about this some more & I would probably seam together 4 rows of 3 and then add some fun, funky borders around that. Here's a link to an online store that might work. I'd still probably do a narrow stop border in a dark brown just so the colors & sheen don't need to match so precisely, but up to you.

Why bother with a burn test? Poly-cotton makes a lovely quilt. And most of them don't care that much about the heat of the iron. If you are concerned, turn down the heat a bit before you iron them.
