It must be SPRING (cleaning). After the comments on this board about covering your stash in your insurance policy, I decided to do an inventory. Also, although my stash was folded neatly, every time I wanted something, the whole pile fell over. So first I tried cardboard for fabric boards. It worked, but not quite well enough. So I went to Home Depot and bought luan (really thin boards). One sheet is 4' x 8' and costs $9.85 each. I bought 4 sheets and my son and I cut them into 24 12x14 or 12x13 inch pieces per sheet (so 112 total). I had to lightly sand each end as they are very splintery. But it has worked very well. I measured each piece of material before I folded it on the luan and wrote the yardage on the wood. I also kept a list of yards so I can take it to the insurance co. if anything happens and show them I know how much I have. I will also take pictures for the insurance (and will post when I am done). So far I have completed the yardage, pre-cuts, batting and most of the flannel. Still have fleece, fat quarters, kits, machines, tools, already made quilts, etc. to inventory. I am loving this way of organizing my stash.
