I had (have) a complete dresser filled with fat quarters. Each drawer was for a specified color and had dividers to separate the rows of fabric. After years of petting the fabric I realized what a waste it was not to use them. Finally spent a month cutting each one up into a 10 x 10 square, charm squares and a left over strip that I can cut 2 l/2" pieces from. The 10 x 10 are in plastic containers, I have 8 cube containers of charms, and I'm currently pairing the neutral strips with color strips to later use for a 9 patch quilt. I can finally see me using my material up!
