    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
