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.

Hello. From what I have done working with old fabrics I will say the yellow probably late 1930s. Some of the different flowers may of been early 40s. You got a great deal. Glad it has a home where it will be happy.
