I keep organized by not buying "stash" fabrics. I buy all the material to make a quilting pattern and then store the material and pattern together is a clear plastic container. I have found that I never seem to have the "correct" material to make a pattern so I end up buying more and the stash keeps sitting there not used. This is a waste of money and I really can not afford that. I buy material to make pattern I like or pattern to make material I like. This is especiall true of focus fabrics. I have 6 pattern/material to sew so do not think that I am boring!
