I have large pieces of linen that my mother had from her mother's stash. Grandma died in 1960.

I'm still using fabric from the middle 90's when I started quilting.... I must've bought enough......

I bought some at an auction and I know it was from the '60s at least. I have some hankies that are older and I have a quilt that is older not sure how old.

The oldest piece I have is not really a quilting fabric so I can't call it for my stash. But it is a piece of Voile from the 1930's that my mother bought before I was born to make a blouse, never did. I remember her pulling it out of cedar chest from time to time, saying it is time to make this, but she always put it back. No way can I bring myself to use that fabric. I just keep it where I can see it from time to time. Strange thing is, it really is not that pretty like our fabrics are today.. guess I am just being sentimental....

I have some sugar sacks stamped "product of Cuba". Would that be 1930's?

I was just given some small pieces of fabric and some odds and ends quilt blocks from my husband's great grandmother quilts. She was 100 when she died in 1939. No telling how old it is. Some is very brittle.

Oh, do remember Qiana? I still have some of that!! I also just remembered I have an old feed sack, but can't bring myself to use. Not sure where it came from...

I have some partial blocks from my aunt that are 57 yrs old. She was making them while she was pregnant with my cousin & never did a thing with them. I also have some flour & sugar sacks & some printed feed sacks. I think they are late 40 or early 50's? Not sure on those.

My own fabric that I have bought 1983. But I have some of my grandmothers old flower sack fabric, not sure how old. I have not had enough guts to cut them up.
