i love
love vintage fabrics. love the prints, the colors ..everything about it. have been collecting fabric from estate sales & auctions for over thirty years ..i've never, ever had issues resulting from fragile aged fabric. cotton is a vegetable fiber and is susceptible to the ravages of time ..but unless it's been recovered from worn clothing or worn/faded antique/vintage quilts it should be fine mixed in with modern fabrics. but even as i say that i am reminded of all the teddy bears, totes, placemats etc that people have made out of "cutter" quilts over the years w/o problems of fragility arising from usage. your leftover from childrens clothing from
only 30 years ago should hold up fine.
tho personally, i now sort my vintage fabrics to be used only with other vintage fabrics. i love the look of them all together
