I am so encouraged by those of you who have attacked the stash and won. I also appreciate those of you who are sharing the same challenges. Too much fabric, but where is it. I am uncovering treasures that I forgot I had. I am also using a ruler to roll the larger pieces of fabric.

For those of you wondering about "the system." Go to Quiltville.com . Bonnie Hunter has a great system and oodles of projects to use up all those fabric schnibbles. She even inspired me to haunt thrift stores for cotton shirts. I only buy XL or XXL, XXXL . I have a basket next to my chair and I dismantle the shirts while watching the tube. Those are getting cut into strips, squares, etc. The back of a huge man's shirt can yield more than a yard of fabric. I follow the bag sales at our Humane Society Thrift shop. $2.00 per bag and I stuffed 8 shirts in a bag. Good quality cotton. I will stop doing that until I get everything sorted and put away.
