After reading all these posts, I feel much more at ease with my "stash". I started to organize the bins, and separated the flannels into one bin. All washed and dried, they will become my donation quilts this fall. Then I put all the civil ware type fabric into a bin, and all the cw fat quarters into a blanket flat storage bin. Lots of ideas in those. I put together 2 bins of "what if's", fabric that i would use probably only use "if" the "preppers" (preparing for the end of the world as we know it) are right. It is a start, and I brought a garbage bag or 2 to the local thrift store. One little corner of the walk in attic is cleared out. I love the feeling of accomplishment. It is a start.
