"there comes a time when too much of a GOOD thing can become a bad thing..."

This is exactly my point! Thanks for understanding me. I guess I wasn't clear in my post. First off, I'm not the coordinator, I'm the assistant, and since I quilt, the fabric comes to me. I DON'T mind sorting it, I enjoy that part. I only wash and iron what's being kept by me to use.

My complaint is that this abundance of wonderful fabric has made me lose my urge to sew. I can't turn fabric away because I love fabric, but I guess I've reached the point where I've eaten too many sweets and now I have a stomach ache. You are so right, this is a lesson I am learning!

By the way, I absolutely do share the fabric with the other quilters in our group, but they tend to take very little since they have their own stashes. I also send large amounts to other nonprofit groups I'm involved with. And I donate all the non-quilting fabric to nonprofit stores.

I guess I just need to purge my own stash so I don't feel so overwhelmed...
