I wish this was my stash - there's some BEAUTIFUL fabrics here! But....... :( :( :( :( it's not. Anyway, I saw this on another website and just had to share her idea.
I love how all her fabrics are sorted in clear see through bins (that way you can admire your stash frequently).
I love how they are all uniformly pressed & folded (that way you can buy more fabric).
I love how EASY the concept sounds...I wish I had thought of it.
Here's the stash pictures: http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2...-my-stash.html

I fold it just like the second post. It works GREAT!!! I was able to empty two out of the total 8 totes (that's 1/4!) and I can now find what I need. It's been a year since I did the initial fold and sort project. I need to do some of them again since I've been pulling from my stash to do projects. It didn't take long, and gave me a chance to see what I had.

The happy zombie has a great idea to fold around a ruler. Mine are all folded in colors, but not all the same size. But think of the potential sewing hours that could be wasted on sewing. Ruth, I sew in a mess too.

I just cleaned up my mess recently and I didn't fold like that, but I did fold. I like it much better now that its done. I have a strong feeling though that once I really get in there to do a totally new project...it will soon look like a bomb exploded in there. For some reason..all my projects create that look. :oops: :roll:
