my personal experience in my former sewing room...w fabric on shelves out of any outside light..fading along edge of fold. incandescent light. and as the only time i had to sew was evenings ...over the table hanging light was in use for many many hors at a time. recent quilt show entry...owner upset by faded appearance of quilt less than 6 mo old gifted her by friend. i asked her where she had it displayed..living room.."a dungeon w/o good light from outside" she said main light used in that room was the ceiling light. i told her i believed that that was the problem, based on my own experience.
