Yardage at the best prices you can possibly manage. You'll still make more than it would cost financially to store it elsewhere and emotionally to store it in your house.
I agonised over getting rid of a ridiculously large vintage glass collection, and when I finally sold it off cheap and /or gave it to the Salvation Army I felt 100 lbs lighter.
Just get it gone! Good luck and I'll be watching for posts.

I was at a yard sale last week that had a lot of fabric. She had put the smaller fabrics in gallon sized plastic zip lock bags, labeled them as "patriotic", "Christmas", etc and had a price per bag. Some bags had just one piece of fabric and she stated yardage amount and price on them. Her bolts had masking tape surrounding them with a price and yardage amount.

She had about 30 of those 54 quart bins full of fabric and each bin was labeled with it's contents such as, 100% cotton, fleece, wool, statin, velvet, etc. with the bags inside. It made it very easy to go through and you didn't waste your time looking through bins that didn't have quilting fabric in it. I got a fabulous deal on her oriental fabrics.

So, if you can get your family together to help do something like this and have a large sale, advertised on CL, you should do very well and sell quite a bit of it. This sale I was at was very organized and easy to navigate, so it does take some prep work, but it was much better for buyers who didn't have the time to rummage through stuff.

Just a hint about advertising on CL. I always use the search feature and "fabric" brings up way too many posts, so I use "quilting" or "sewing" to find what I am looking for, so make sure those words are in your ad.

I would suggest advertising in your local paper, posting notes on public boards such as in your supermarket, or listing on Ebay. Good luck!

fat quarters are limited...yardage is lots better....go to your local community college that give quilting lessons and I am sure you could sale some of you inventory...

You aren't far from me, I am just outside Akron! If you decide to hold a sale, I would love to come shopping. I know there are other people nearby on the board, they would probably like to shop too.

I'd come for a sale too

I may decide to have a sale. I'm not sure if it is okay to post it here or not.

I'm like some of the others, don't cut it into fat qtrs. I would price it by the yard, and then have it so you could offer it at a bolt price for a little less.
I wish I lived closer to you and I would take a good chunk off your hands. If I had the funds, all I would have to tell my daughter, "Let's take a road trip", and we would head that way(haha)( from south Alabama).

Well, I did get the go ahead to post some listings again. I'm going to start with some large yardages and add to the listings as I go. It's time consuming to put it up again-so a little at a time. Just keep checking back.

Price is the key to selling fabric quickly. Craigslist, guilds... but be aware that many guilds price good donated fabric at $1/yard at their sales. You may not be willing to match that price.
