I'll post the rest some time when I get around to taking pics of it.

warning-the before pics may make you cringe. They do me.

and after (I used comic book boards, similar to the coroplast method)

I took quite a bit out from the before pics. 3 sets of fat quarters for which I have projects planned and some fabric that I will probably just sell or use for pillowcases or something. I have a whole bunch of other fat quarters too that I have elsewhere. I don't have enough room in any one area to store all of them. :oops:

more info on my blog which is in my signature.

Congrats! on a job well done, isn't it nice to be able to see what you have without having to dig through it?

Way to go, gale! You are on your way to a happy sewing stash. I'd be happy ever time I looked at those orderly pieces of fabric.

Love the organized pic the best! It's a lot of work but so well worth it. You will be so glad you spent that time doing it. Great job
