I get horrified when I sort my stash. Why did I buy that? I am truly a batiks gal and love the brights. I get so mad at myself when I come across a print with no cooridnates, I must have purchased because it was on sale. Some bargain. It goes on the free table at the Guild.

I love brown, and it's hard to find good ones. Remember that it goes well with so many other fabrics, and you always need some fabrics that don't scream me, me, me.

Funny,I hardly have ANY browns in my stash. Pinks are the most popular color in my stash.

I love the browns. Love to pair them with lighter brighter colors gives great shadow effects and makes lighter colors crisp looking. Great for puppy dog and cute kitten appliques.

Brown and pink or brown and red are nice combinations I think.

When I find fabric that say "what were you thinking?" I get rid of it. There is always someone who thinks my horrors are their beauties.

If you have fabric you don't like, give it to the missions. Many of these places have people who want to learn to sew, and need something to use for practicing. They can use non-quilting fabric, too. They want old sewing machines also. Ask at your church for places that could use the fabric and machines. Some need the machines to be treadle or hand crank.

I use my old dark pieces for pillowcases- which I fill with unusable scraps of fabrics and battings to make dog beds for the local animal shelter.

I had some not so old fabric - various pieces - I no longer liked or wanted to ever use again. Gathered them all up and put in a big zip lock bag for church yard sale. Maybe someone else will want it.
