I have some fabric that is a little over 45 years old. Most of my stash is 10-30 years old. I really like to have memories and stories behind my quilts and I can tell my kids where I got the fabric and why and my grandkids have fun finding fabric I made their clothes from. I try not to buy much fabric. My goal is to sew up all my fabric before I die. However, I did add about 120 yards of quality quilt shop fabric to my stash this year because I stumbled across two 75% off closeout sales!
