I have "old" fabric altho usable. A friend of mine and I took a class. She finished hers..I didn't. Fast forward 30 years. I decided to finally finish the quilt. I already had the batting and backing pinned. I had someone LA quilt it...I wanted to use fabric from my stash for binding. I came upon the EXACT same color purple as in my quilt top. Is this fabric from 30 years ago???? Maybe?? I made the binding from this and completed it. SSSooo, unless it's ragged or torn I will try to use it for something.......eventually
