I have quite a large stash and decided to organize it...ended up with about 12 large tubs. It did help with the organization with colors ect but one thing that really helped was keeping the "holiday" fabric seperate. I won't use Christmas in July...
The other thing I have done is to take fabric to our local church thrift store...great for them and I like to think someone less fortunate can have some fabric at a cheaper cost.
The bad thing about doing that is I now have about two tubs of ties that I have collected. All are washed, the inside taken out and just need pressing. I will be going through those and probably tossing a bunch unless someone is willing to take them for the shipping cost..
