I've got some scraps from my DH's mother - back to the 50's (which is when he and I were born). I've tried to incorporate some from every decade in many of the quilts I've made that are scrappy - and point it out to the recipient....the idea that scraps are from 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and this decade makes it special, I think.
