I asked for a bunch of empty cardboard bolts at Joann's; brought them home and cut them up (each bolt makes four 8" x 11" pieces); then I took my fabrics that I have over 1 yard of, folded it along the length of the fabric (fold to selvege) and wrapped it on each "mini bolt" and pinned a piece of paper to the final wrap with quantity. When I was done, I was amazed how much I actually have: over 90 mini bolts. It is stored in a bookcase (front covered with vinyl for dust) but it is spilling out onto my sewing table! Looks like it is time for a bigger bookcase ('cause everyone knows how difficult it is to stop buying fabric :oops: ) That doesn't include the clear bins I have in the garage (no quilting cotton there) or what is hanging in the closet (backings and flannels).
