This is my new years project! I am a fabricaholic, and also inherited my mothers stash, so it is a major project. I have acquired bookcases for 3 corners of my quilting room, the 4th has 4 sets of rolling plastic drawers. Someone at my local guild suggested fat quarters in one section (plastic drawers), and also for quarter yards. Everything 1 yard and under, is folded in a specific manner, also in drawers. Over 1 yard to about 3 or 3 1/2 yards gets folded as a bolt, but without the bolt, they are too bulky and take up baluable space ( I have tried that, looked like my own store!). Anything more than 3 1/2 yards is folded the same way, but in a seperate section for backings, along with the wide fabric. Of course, I also have a bunch of smaller containers that fit the lower shelfs, they contain fabric for specific projects so that something does not get used for a different project. I have a seperate large tub for all batiks, under the long arm. flannels are also in their own drawer, along with Christmas fabric. Threads have their own drawer. I just added a custom built cabinet that my Dad had made for record albums, it is doing a nice job of 3 ring binders that I am filing patterns and magazine collections for future use. I have decided to not renew any of my scripts after starting to go thru all of mine and Moms, I will never have time to make all that I would like to!!! My room is starting to take shape, however, I have been emptying tubs of fabric onto my long arm table for the sorting process, and it is still piled. Oh, I am also cutting all those little scraps into the largest pieces it will take, just to get rid of it. I have managed to get 2 queen size scrap quilts cut out since the new year. A fellow quilter also suggested to just have a collection of cut squares, then when you see a scrap pattern, you will probably have more than half of it already cut! and you are eliminating all those small pieces that you don't know what to do with!!! Sorry this is so long, I got carried away.
