Looks great. Sorry the quilt inspector lost her favorite napping place tho. :-)

I'm warming to the idea of the boards, but not there yet. Still in the white 28 qt. storage boxes. Still a pain to find what I want, but then I get to rummage through all the boxes of fabrics looking for the perfect piece. Nice going on organizing your stash. Love your quilt inspector. I have three - 2 kitties and a dog!

Your stash looks wonderful - don't you just love being able to see it? As for yardage - I labeled a few of my pieces (just pinned a scrap of paper with the yardage written on it). But, my boards are 10" so I know one wrap is 20", two is 40" so close to a yard. I just count the wraps for a rough estimate - much like counting wraps on a bolt in the fabric store. Hope this helps! Enjoy your new 'store' :-)

Boy! I can only dream of being that organized. Looks wonderful.

I spent January going through my stash. I read Bonnie Hunt's Leaders and Enders for inspiration and cut, cut, cut some "offensive" odd pieces! Now I have little stacks already cut up that I have found really inspiring as I piece tops for Project Linus. I also have stacks of squares for four and nine patch "L & E's" right by my machine and I absolutely can not believe how many I have gotten together effortlessly. Bonnie's a genius!
And my stash is so much more accessible! I have a stack of projects ready and waiting and I can actually see everything now if I need something. I used a two sided book case and have it free standing in my guest room. Following trips to Mardens in Maine and to Marshall Dry Goods in Arkansas last year, I had to get organized! Yes, I am the lucky quilter whose DH sends her back into quilt/fabric shops because she hasn't bought enough yet! LOL! |
Looks great O need to get a better handle on mine

The quilt inspector is a bit upset about this new arrangement in the shelving unit. See that lower right cube of homespuns & quilting books? It used to have a few pieces of nice soft flannel laying in it & she claimed it as her very own napping area......now she has chosen a new spot on a folded up comforter in the master bedroom closet. |
Your stash looks great and is so much more accessible. You might want to think of another way to mark your fabric amounts as any kind of sticky label can leave residue on the fabric if it's stored for a while. I had some fat quarters with labels on the fold that left a sticky mess. I was able to cut around it but I was glad it was just fat quarters.
