I hadn't even realized that you could count the rows of folds to see about how much fabric you have when you ruler fold with a 6 inch wide ruler. Duh..... I knew to count 2 folds on a bolt as a yard, why didn't I think about doing the same with the ruler folder? Who knows? Sometimes, someone else has to state the obvious.
Now, everyone has got me thinking about organizing my stash. I do have a lot sorted into bins by categories....UFO's & WIP's, batiks, Christmas, Halloween (I'm a sucker for a sale...nuff said), Fall, Kits, Judy Niemeyer, Jacqueline de Jonge, southwest, oriental, and backings. Now to get all that other Miscellaneous...didn't go with any of the other categories ruler folded and stored neatly. Not now though, too many projects too close to completion. Got to get that list of 35 down some!
