I've done the same with other things in my home.
Three things to add to the box/tote ...
1. Date you have filled it.
2. Ideally include a disposal date (whether to charity, garbage, quilt guild, or whatever!)
3. A general title as to what is inside, so you don't tempt yourself to go through it later. Depending on your quantities, you may have three boxes: Fabric, Patterns, Orphanage! That way if you need to find something, you only need to open the one box and not be tempted with what hides inside the others!!!!
It's stuff that only you can truly do yourself, as others have different ideas as to what is important. Don't be too hard on yourself as we all have "stuff" that we can't make decisions about!
Good Luck!!!!
