Finally finished sorted my "eye candy".
This is what I did:

1. Bought clear bins small and large and sorted most of my stash by projects. I also put the books or magazines inside to remind me what I am going to make with them.
****** I like clear bins best because you have peek and what is possible inside.

2. Awhile back I bought a rolling rack at a restaurant junk yard. It is great because it has wheels and you can scoot it out and sweep my closet once in a while :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

#3 Also I downsized my magazine stash. What I do is go through my magazines after they sit for awhile and take out the pages. I use clear inserts and put 1 pattern in each pocket page. Ii get a big notebook from the thrift store and make my own collection quilt books. I like and make my own pattern books. After all many of us buy the magazine for 1 or 2 patterns . We can only read it so many times.
**** I have fun looking through one large book rather than 20 books to find one pattern.

Okay this is my ideas on sorting fabrics and magazines.
