Anyone know what era this fabric is from?

I can't find any similar on line. I'm new at this investigative portion of quilting... but having a blast learning all about the various eras!
I'd guess 1920-1930 based on the smoothness, color and pattern size. But I'm not very confident. The quilting and applique is with black embroidery thread.
I bought it thinking I'd give it to my mother in law but found a large block in poor condition. Her birthday is Weds so there's no chance to fix it before then. So I'll get her something else and save this for another occasion.
It's a Colonial Basket quilt block pattern. It's machine pieced but hand quilted and hand appliqued. Love the puckering!

Without seeing it in person, I would say 1940's due to the geometric design of the print. The solid peach could be 1930s or 40s
There are a couple of interesting construction clues to date your quilt. The applique technique of using a running stitch and the use of the black quilting thread.
Nice find.
