If you figure it out, let me know what kind of *blinders* you use....LOL I agree, organizing fabrics helps me to realize that I have alot to work with. When starting a new project I usually try to start with my stash, take swatches to fabric shops and match up with new fabrics. This at least helps use my stash. Setting a fabric budget would never work with me. My family is raised, I sew and sell goodies for play money and figure I deserve this crazy quilting habit ! LOL
