What's the oldest fabric you have?
#1
I'm new to quilting but have always done crafts and I just found a box of fabric. I've spent the afternoon playing with fire...burn testing for fiber content (learned that here!) and going through it. I found panels from 1981! Is that almost antique? Vintage? The amazing thing is that I have moved multiple times and evidently this box made it with me every time. Amazing.
So how long have you kept fabric?

Well I have 2 boxes of fabric scraps my Mother saved from making clothes for us kids when we were growing up. I recognize some of it from as far back as when I was 9, so that would mean some of the fabric can be dated to 1969. 42 years old (the fabric, not me. Don't I wish) Oh, and yes, I will be making these scraps into quilts for my 2 brothers & myself, as Mom intended before she passed away.
