I made a number of quilts in the 1990's. I have some displayed on beds in 3 bedrooms which face the front of my house. The only ones that had fading issues were the ones where I used JoAnn fabrics. One has 12 hand embroidered blocks & eventually I will take out all the quilting & reuse the blocks with a different sashing & borders. I think the quaity of fabrics was better in the 90's than it is now. Like everything else, I try to buy the best quality - when it is on sale.
