I think this is a great idea. I have been trying to do this since I have really run out of space to store more fabric. It has become frustrating to locate things and am constantly surprised since I find fabric that I had forgotten about...i.e. Christmas fabric...was about to go buy some when I found a whole box full that I purchased two or three years ago. I do not work with patterns much only use them for ideas and guidelines so I find it fun and challenging to just look at my stash and see what I can put together from what I have. I find the process more creative than following someone else's directions. However, I must say I have made a few quilts that do not fit the bed exactly as I wish...LOL.
