I dont have any old fabrics just my GF does. I truly enjoy the colors and variety of patterns we have now.
I guess the term is hand. I am saying the hand is just not the same and I am wondering how it will change the way our quilts hold up over time. Im thinking if quilts are anything like sheets, the 300 count ones just dont launder and age the same as the 800 count ones.
My parents have one of my ugly quilt from 15 years ago and they use it/launder it all the time. It still is in great shape even if it is ugly and poor workmanship.
