Thank you Donna for posting and explaining.
I used to sort this way but now I am sorting by color and theme mostly like most seem to do.
I think you are right and I used to be more out of the box with fabrics then I am now. Interesting.

I do not sort by color within size either. I find that I see more possibilities in the fabric when it is mixed. But because I sort by size I have used more of my stash. Hope this helps.
