March Reorganization
 
2 Attachment(s)
I had just finished my DH's queen size quilt when I looked around for a new project to start. I realized that my fabrics were all scattered and not at all organized. So my project became "reorganize" the jumbled mess. I had a great time as I discovered lots of beautiful fabrics that I had totally forgotten. And I discovered that I have more reds than I really need, but I'm such a sucker for red.[ATTACH=CONFIG]399609[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]399611[/ATTACH]

Boy, that looks really great! Funny, but I just reorganized my stash, too. Bought some comic book boards and folded as many as I could. My stash is not even that big, but I used 100 boards and could have used a few more!

Good job Sunnie. I love those green baskets. Where did you get them, and who were you with when you got them?:D
Mine are still empty.

Wow, that's really organized - great job!

Oh that looks so nice. Love your reds, blues and greens . My favorite colors, besides pink, purple and yellow. Okay, so I'm fickle.

Too funny, you know you made me buy them. They work for so many things I may need to go get more.

Looking great! Every time I try to reorganize, about the time I get done. I decide to to it different. ENJOY!

Isn't it a great feeling to get organized! Now you can jump in and get to work on your next project with no worries. I think we all get a little bit of cabin fever by the end of winter and reorganizing everything is one way we handle it. Just did my stash a couple of weeks ago, discovered I had 23 different red, black, and white pieces, plus all the other reds I have, minim length is 2 1/2 yards. Guess what colors my next Quilt will be! LOL

Nothing more beautiful than a colour co-ordinated stash - a veritable rainbow. Excellent work Sunnie.

I have some of these boxes in different sizes. I bought mine at Big Lots!

Is there nothing better than a organized tidy stash!? Bet you feel new inspiration! Thanks for sharing.

great stash and sewing room

Nice work. I try to clean up my room after each project but it doesn't always happen. It is always fun to go through one's fabric and discover "old friends"

Good question, though. Where did you get those green baskets?
I ask because I have some that I bought at Staples that they were selling as locker organizers. I bought green, blue and purple, but could also use some more! Unfortunately, Staples here only carries them for back-to-school shopping.

CherryPie 03-13-2013 09:19 PM

Great job!!! Looks very nice. Red happens to be my favorite color, too.

We found the green (and other colors) baskets at the dollar store. Hopefully you can locate them too.

Yeah, mine are still empty sitting on the floor waiting for someone to fill them with scraps all nicely sorted into colors and sizes. Like that is going to happen any time soon.:D
:p

have fun, start slow.just sort by color first. try to lay flat, then when you have a small bit of time you can cut without needing to iron it all. I find it saves on ironing time if flat a few days.

You have beautiful fabrics! Looking forward to seeing you next quilt:o
