amen to that. my dd came home for xmas and we did that to the fabric down here. this summer we will get to th eupstairs room and empty the big tubs. course a lot of that is still on the bolt, so that shouldm't take too long. It is what is already cut into squares that might take the longest to do. will need to put into see thru containers and maybe put a few dozen quilts into bags to sew and that will take care of those. she likes to sew and if we get the fabric for a quilt together she can take it back to WY and sew it when she wants. then bring it home and we can put it together.
