This would make it easier for her to find what she has. The yardage I would fold and stack on those bookshelves by color. I bet Grandma would help and you could enjoy being together. You may run across some that she would be willing to get rid of. It would be sad to see you work so hard folding and go back 6 months later to the same scene. Good luck to you. You are a good granddaughter to help her with this.
I think you are onto something. An organized mess might be the best way to go here. I personally need mine folded but once everything is organized by type a bin can easily be folded if she wants it.
