My stash is in the basement so no worries about it coming crashing down. Since I make mostly fairly large quilts, it is easy to use up at least 6 yards on one backing, and 9 yards if it is queen size. Most of my fabric has a plan, just the last stuff doesn't have a definite plan, only a possible plan. It is all organized by color and floral/ Christmas/ juvenile, etc. So it is easy to find what I want or need next.
