Bless your heart! I feel your pain, I also try to put pattern and fabric in container together for the same reason. I was sure I wasn't the only one out there to do the same thing, I've looked thru a book I keep of things" I wanna do some day," figured some out. For the unknowns, I figure I'll either remember some day or just use the fabric in something else. ( Knowing just as soon as I use it, I'll remember the original use for the fabric) Guess we should just be thankful that we are blessed to have a really good stash. Good luck and Happy New Year!
