I guarantee that if you make the decision to get rid of the stuff that you are not using, you will not miss it. I recently went through my collection and removed anything that I wasn't totally in love with and planning to use. I took huge clear heavy bags of fabric (think poly/cotton. gingham, dheap or sleezy cottons) to the Mennonite Relef Centre who manage to recycle all sorts of things. The lids fit on all my bins now and my drawers close. Will I miss this stuff? Absolutely not! I'll probably do it again this fall or winter. Quilters change their likes and styles of quilting and fabric that doesn't match your current way of stitching should go to a new home. We routinely give away clothing that we no longer wear, so why not do the same with fabric? Yes we may have purchased it but we have "outgrown" it, so give it away. No worries, no guilt and move on to buy and create for the new you.
