best part of having the historical fabric, my Great-grandmother was 59 when I was born, so she was very into the modern fabrics (of the time). I have at least 2 or 3 yards that are really slinky, knits that are blinding brights. (late 50's, early 60's) No good for quilting, but very fun to threaten my very conservative daughter with! I also have a 3 or 4 yard cut of bright blue cotton with flocked daisy's on it. I remember having dresses out of similar fabrics, so the granddaughter may yet get a top. It's been protected from moisture and bugs, so it will be fun to work on a small piece of it. Then I save the rest for HER grandchildren! Hmmm, maybe a 3rd category, "Pass it ON"!
