I often remind myself of how blessed I am to have been given so much fabric. My stash started as my SIL's. When she passed away, I took all of her quilt room. Although that was nearly 20 years ago, I am still using her fabric. Yes, indeed she had a massive stash. One thing that I did notice during my organizational efforts this week-end is that much of my stash does not reflect my taste or choices in colors. It is still highly influenced by my SIL's perspective and colors. Of course, I have purchased additional fabric, but since I have been trying to use my stash, new purchases seem to match her color perspectives. I am more of a bold pure color person. She had more of a softer often lighter color perspective. I never considered this until organizing my fabric and could see it more clearly as a whole.

Solution to be determined. I can give away or donate fabric that doesn't please my creative eye and begin purchasing what pleases me or I can gratefully keep using what I have on hand. Then there is some sort of compromise between the two choices. Thank you for allowing me to think through and share my personal discoveries over this organizational process.
