The labeling idea came from Tirolgirl. Now SHE has a STASH. A whole apartment dedicated to quilting. I LOVE her quilting rooms. Her quilts are amazing! I cover my exposed fabric with quilts in progress when I am not in the room. It works for me. Also, fabric does not stay in one place long enough to fade because I give lots away, swap and buy. The best place to get a good variety of different prints is from fabric.com's 3 pound remnants for $19.98, thrift stores and estate sales. Goodwill.com is excellent and the bids are almost always low.
