I need some advice on how to keep up with the fabric I have in my stash so that I know what to buy for a project. My thought was to sort all the fabrics... blues, reds, stripes, etc, then get a zippered binder & tape a small sample or picture in the notebook along with how yardage I have of each fabric. I would have different sections by color or theme. I could get quite a few fabrics on 1 piece of paper in the binder. Perhaps they need to be on a notecard, so that when I move them to a project, the yardage & fabric stay together. Maybe post-its?

I was thinking that fabrics I could designate for a project would be moved to that project page so I would know what else I needed to buy. The zippered notebook could go with me to the store. Forgot to mention...got quite a lot of stash. About half of it is in 4 or 5 yard increments. The rest is fat quarters, 1 yarders & all kind of in betweens.

Does anyone have a way that is working for them that they would care to share? I did buy the iPhone FabricStash program, but don't think it will do what I need.
