My stash is over 20 years ole. I did go thru and gave away alot of the oldest as I didn't like it anymore.

Well Here goes, now I will date myself for sure. I have fabric that I bought when I started working in a sewing factory in 1973. Is that old enough for you. If not, I have fabric scraps from the 1930's from my Mom's stuff. LOL

I began quilting in 2001, so my stash began then too.

I've been quilting ten years? so I guess that's how old some of my stash is!

hmmm... a lot of my stash is from the 80's that I purchased... but I have inherited fabrics from the 1940's, 50's and 60's that my mother used to make me & my sister dresses and then mom inherited fabrics from my grandmother from the 20's and 30's ... all of it in very good condition and still strong for quilting :D

I made my oldest daughter's baby quilt with fabric I had cut from my maternity clothes..... that was in 1983. She still has it!
