Rose, I'm in construction/historic preservation and I know that most plastics will wear poorly with time and sunlight - like vinyl clad windows and siding - compared to wood. Same with some sealants and adhesives. Even the 6-mil poly covering my overwintered veggies is going to be degraded after a season in the sun and snow. But fabrics, I have no experience except draperies and they were silk and wool, predate plastics, and they became extremely fragile.
I've spent a good 20 years giving historic buildings another century of useful life but I doubt I've given a thought to the photographic paper I used, or the wool in my hooked rug, or my own drapes.....Something to consider
Gives one pause, thanks again and happy quilting
