Paul Masson Winery would sell no wine before its time and I shall use no fabric before its time! Can you see the date on this Moda marble? Yes, it says 1997! That makes this fabric 15 years old! I think it has aged long enough!
Now you know how I came up with the name "Cotton Cellar" for my blog! I have a batch from the mid 80's that I'm getting ready to use soon. Wonder if that makes it "estate" or "vintage"???
Now that's funny. I had forgotten that slogan. When I was discussing all of my older fabric which I was trying to use up, a dear friend made a key point. She said, "At least you can count on the quality." I thought, how true! The new stuff I have to check very carefully. So thank goodness for our finely aged stock!

That's almost as bad as the one quilt I finished last month. The date on the selvage of that one said 1992! LOL
Oh yes I too have fine aged fabrics in the fabric "cellar', hahahaha!
It is a good thing that fabric doesn't come with a "use by" date!
