<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 4396694, member: 8267&quot;]The first one may incorporate fabrics from more than one decade. The random, wiggle-worm pattern on the red ground (bottom right corner of the 1st photo) I associate with late 19th - maybe early 20th century, while some of the other prints look like they might be 1930s. There are many other clues in quilts, though, that might be useful. The references I have on dating such fabrics concentrate on the 19th century, becoming less specific for more recent periods. But you might find these helpful:</p><p><br /></p><p>Barbara Brackman. <u>Clues in the Calico: A Guide to Identifying and Dating Antique Quilts</u>. EPM Publications, 1989.
