I'm with you, Country Quilter...she who dies with the most fabric WINS and I've already made fabric storage reservations with St. Peter!
Seriously, I made a quilt for the back of the couch about 6 years ago and early in the morning the sun hits the quilt...bad news! The sun, I'm sure, rotted the fabric in my quilt so now I don't open the drapes until the sun gets over the house which is only about a hour longer than normal as we have a mountain in front of our house that shades us nicely but I did learn that the sun is mean on quilts.
I have an antiqe quilt that was made by my grandmother 80 years ago that is in great shape but does have some loose weave or damaged areas but the first few years of it's life it was used on my grandparents bed so it's had some use.
