It truly depends on what type of quilts you like to make. I prefer to keep my fabric at its' largest piece and not cut it down. I do like to do a lot of fussy cutting too and you can't really do that if it's too small. I have given away so much fabric lately because if finally occurred to me that I am not going to use it again, or it doesn't have the same appeal it did and someone else should have it. My fabric is stored by color and theme. So Christmas has 2 bin, so does Halloween because it follows me home, there is a black & white, floral. And no matter how organized I try to be - it seems a detour sets in from time to time.
