Did you cut your fabrics to certain sizes and packed it tight? I have large pieces and am not sure if I should cut them up or leave them large. :)

I went through this stage when I thought fat quarters were the way to go so I purchased a bunch. But unfortunately I also bought a lot of yards that I cut up into fat quarters. Shoulda left them whole.

So then I got smart, and the fabrics standing on end are all in the lengths I purchased them.

Do you sew everyday? How long do you estimate it will take you to use all your stash? I'm asking so that I can estimate how much stash I need since I don't sew everyday (wish I could!!).

I sew every day in the winter, but now that spring is here and summer is on its way I'll be slowing down quite a bit.

I think I can (maybe) use my stash with 5 years or so if I keep at the rate I'm going. Well, maybe 10. ;-)

OMG - if this is what's LEFT, can't imagine what you had before "downsizing" :-o
