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.

I was digging around in my scrap bins and can across a scrap that was from the 70's when I first started quilting. I still love that fabric.. I could not bring myself to use that last little bit. 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?

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.
