I have been collecting fabric since high school...graduated in the mid sixties....of course a lot of it is garment sewing fabric. As for quilting fabric...I started quilting about 8-9 years ago...I am a fabriholic and have to see and touch each piece...LOL I have clear plastic boxes full of quilting fabric. 5 large boxes with the colors sorted and coordinated ( less than a yard each) . I have 1 box with Christmas fabric only, 1 box with fall fabric only, 1 box with kitchen prints only, 1 box with panels only. 24 boxes with 1 or more quilts in each (in the beginning stage, uncut). One six foot shelf with backing fabrics only, 1 six foot shelf with yard cuts only, 1 shelf with flannels only, 1 shelf with batting only....1 dresser with Batiks and specialty prints only. This not all the fabric I have, but I'm sure I have gone on long enough. LOL,LOL
