    I finally put my stash on mini bolts this year and it really helps to actually see what I have. Of course the flip side of that is...I need to sew faster!

    Its great once you get all of your fabric out where you can see it. I didn't do the ruler method but found the best way to fold for my shelves and was amazed at the fabric I had and had forgotten about. I'll never use totes again; well under my bed are slide out totes wit lots of fleece but I know what's in them. I also went to Home Depot and had more shelves cut for my bookcase so that they weren't stacked as high and I could organize them better by color or print.

    Isn't it awesome? I've finally gotten most of my fabric ruler folded. It's great to be able to actually see what I have in the stash.
