Quilt dated 1903, Shirk
Green calicoes are among the hardest prints to date in antique quilts.
They were classic "bread & butters," the fabric that sold year after year
and paid the bills.
The S.H. Greene Company had a line of Washington Prints.

I'd probably have dated these more like 1880-1900
but I guess 1880-1920 would be better.
