We purchased used filing cabinets to store our stash (which is verry modest), marked each drawer and sorted by color. Our daughter was here from CA and we did it together we had a great time. Now I need to start cutting the scraps into usable sizes.

I love fondling-I mean sorting a stash pile.

Ahh the great feeling of admiring fabric. How we all love that LOL Getting it organized ...not so much. Good luck and I hope you get everything as you want it.

i'm a little envious, but if i had that much fabric, i wouldn't be able to function. my anxiety level would go into hyper-drive. it is a wonderful storage system that works for you, though. you can see what you have and use what you need to make your quilts. i would probably just stare at the pretty colors!

Thanks for the reminder! I desparately need to sort "left overs". Just keep wanting to start the next project!

My excuse is I'm waiting for colder weather and/or a rainy day for a project like that.

And wouldn't you know it,,,the weekend the nasty weather starts....my 2nd job will probably kick in!

I have started to organize....except something, usually DH wants to eat, work or sleep, wants to disrupt my plans.

Mom is here, so we are making Christmas table runners....only need 3 today! Maybe next weekend will start cleaning...NOT!!!!

I have to sort and organize and store as I go or it makes me crazy. Another OCD thing. Sometimes spend more time organizing than sewing--what's wrong with this picture?

I'm trying to decide whether to go to the thrift store that is having a 1/2 off sale. They usually have scraps. I don't need anything, and most of what I have was sorted, and put away last weekend. Then I have another issue.. I'm in a one bedroom apartment, and don't like the idea of it looking like a grenade went off in a fabric store. Am I obcessed with fabric? You bet.

Gosh I should be so lucky! I am just starting out with quilting again after a long time away from sewing and I have 6 smallish 11"X14" bins only half full of mostly fq's ...I dream of the day I have your problem! LOL Have fun with the sorting and dreaming about all the lovely things you can make with your stash!

Wow! I wish I were as organized as you all seem to be. And those pictures of the organization. I've got bags and boxes of fabric stacked in a spare room. You are inspiring me to get organized myself. Where does one get the time?
