I am so doing this...Have oodles of fabric...Over 20 bins and I've stopped buying unless for backing and the rules as stated. Working on one now but I had all the fabric from 2007. But heck, I go back to feed sacks and fabric from way back also. Just inherited all the older fabric but sewed since the 50's and really got into quilting big time in the late 70's. Have had many quilts in quilt shows and won lots of ribbons. Trouble is I had such a love of fabric from the late 40's when I worked in the fabric area of Newberry's and learned to sew in high school.. Anyone remember that store where fabric was cut with little notches with a yardage machine like and then ripped. I still rip fabric and it is always on the grain. I know lots of quilters, including teachers and quilt shops go nuts with this. Did you ever buy a wider piece of backing for a quilt so there were no seams and they just cut it...well, I did and it was so crooked when they cut it that I had to find a shop that would rip and there was no problem.
