Well I have 2 boxes of fabric scraps my Mother saved from making clothes for us kids when we were growing up. I recognize some of it from as far back as when I was 9, so that would mean some of the fabric can be dated to 1969. 42 years old (the fabric, not me. Don't I wish) Oh, and yes, I will be making these scraps into quilts for my 2 brothers & myself, as Mom intended before she passed away.
