I'm new to quilting and was lucky enough to be able to buy a stash from a lady downsizing to get me started. This is now my goal. Sew up the stash and then only get what I need. I want to downsize so it fits in one cabinet. I'd love to get into fabric dyeing for two reasons: It's gorgeous and for me it would be cheaper than buying quilting fabric at the LQS. In the meantime, I need an appropriate storage solution and I'm appreciating seeing everyone's ideas.
