I started quilting in the 70's...still have small bits of some of my first fabrics I bought...and work them into the scrap quilts that I make.
I do also have some older fabric-from the 30's....waiting for the right project. |

As I folded it , and placed it carefully back in the bin... I wondered if I am the only one that has scraps that old?

Ours go back 28 years.

My oldest quilt is a baby quilt that I made when I was pregnant with our first child. I made that 34 yrs. ago. It was a kit and cost me ..are you ready for this?.....$12.00!!
|
Yep, I've got my moms scraps and scraps from 3 older quilters that have passed.
|
I have feedsacks!
|
About 30 yrs old. And some of it I wonder why I ever bought.
|
I think maybe about 15 years.
|
have a huge tub of old fabrics ...old old older than me ...lol just never know when you have to replace a piece on someones quilt .....and it happens more than you would think ...a good friend had two holes in one his mom {RIP} made for him and had a few that matched close enough that it worked
|
I also put a scrap into that quilt that was from clothes I sewed for her mother who turns 43 tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
Happy birthday!! I have feedsacks as well, but they aren't scraps. My scraps are probably about 13 yrs old. |
