Does disaster area ring a bell? I have piles of fabric when I get to selecting for a new project. Have a friend who will come over and just start folding things back up and putting them neatly in a pile. (someday she will figure it out, that I invite her for lemonade or hot chocolate when the fabric needs folding--grin-just kidding) Of course her sewing room never has a thread on the floor. Mine is covered with scraps, (think Eleanor Burns here) besides my kitties have a blast playing with the pieces. Besides scraps are insulation for the floor in the cold winter.
