Personally I'd tell the hubster to go jump in the lake if he dared to take my sewing room... But you seem to want to destash anyway. I have an idea. With the popularity of scrap quilting these days (thank you Bonnie Hunter!) you could easily SELL your fabric scraps. Sort by color and stuff some gallon ziplocks and sell it by weight or by the bag. If you put them on Ebay they should FLY out of your house and give you some money to buy new things... or maybe batting or whatever you need. If you aren't going to use the scraps, that is.
