I agree with you 100% on this. How many of us really think that 50 to 100 years from now our quilts will be still with us or that we will even still be here. I made a quilt for my niece out of very expensive quilt store fabric and she used it so much five years later I had to make her a new one as there was not much left of the original one. The only thing I really watch as to how I store my fabric is it is out of the light so it does not fade. I use the heavy rubbermaid containers and I also have two old dressers filled with fabric. The one dresser is at least 70 years old .
