Default Age of quilt?

Hello,
I’m new to this group and just learning about quilts. I recently bought one that I think is at least from the 1930’s or 40’s. It has cotton batting in wads in between the front and back. At first I thought the batting had disintegrated but I washed it in orcas quilt paste on hand wash cycle because it had a horrible smell— maybe moth balls? Anyway, some of the batting came out and it looks like raw cotton. I wonder if I attach a photo someone here might be able to identify the fabric years. Thanks in advance.
