I'd be thinkin' how lucky I was to find out that this fabric isn't going to age well...that would certainly disqualify it for some uses in my mind. The unchanged condition of the other fabrics would be telling me that the damaged fabric just might be a poor team player...one that might further disappoint you. I keep hearin' whispers...they sound like warnings.
Hadn't thought of it in that way before your reply. You're right I am lucky to know this before hand before using this in a big project. Unfortunatley, I did use some form a different bolt in an earlier project. Will see what happens when I wash the quilt. Wil hope and pray for the best b/c I used a lot of it. Live and learn. FYI: Got it at JoAnn's about 2 - 3 years ago.
