Seriously, people go around looking for depression era feed sack material for their quilts. That is like 80 years old.
Myself, I don't see the attraction, but that's just me. If it ain't made by Robert Kaufman or Michael Miller, it usually doesn't interest me too much.
Take a piece of questioned material. Try ripping on the diagonal. If you can do that, don't use it for something you want to keep.

Tim you are hilarious! I was thinking of the same answer! Some of my stash is on bolts, some folded, some in the FQ box! LOL
But you are such a GUY! We won't think you are a girly man for expanding your tastes in fabric to Moda, Hoffman, Timeless Treasures, etc!!!
NEVER NEVER throw away stash! Unless it is moldy or stained beyond washing - keep it or donate it!
