I am taking a fractured quilt class in October, was out shopping found fabric that would be suitable. But, said to myself I have to go through my fabric, first. Yesterday, I let the yardwork go and started just that. My basement is a mess, so is my laundry room where I keep my totes. I pulled it all apart looking for either a 12 inch or 24 inch repeat on the fabric. Found some that will work in a 12 inch repeat, found co ordinating fabric to go with it. Now that is neatly tucked aside, now I am sorting through fabric, by color and some category. I have enough, maybe, I think, as others have. This feels so good to organize. I know it will not last forever but for the next bit of time, I have an idea of what I have. I have way more red than I thought, that surprised me. Anyways, thanks for the inspiration here, someone is always doing something in their sewing area and I do think of organizing when I read it. Am happy. Of course this cleaning is taking away from my sewing time, can't have it all, I guess. So cleaning does save you money or it has for this project.

Great idea to shop through your stash and you were able to find it! Organizing the fabric is easy (however you want to do it) - it is keeping it that way that requires some clean up after each project. Not easy though.

I love my storage solution. Yes, there was an initial investment but I will have these forever. I sort by fabric groupings; then by color, but everyone has their own system.

That is wonderful, can I borrow it and the window??? I have a window but nearly that big, makes for great lighting. Thanks for sharing.

I am organizing all of my fabrics and sewing room. Having a grand time; but the thought keeps popping up will all this effort really work or will I have a mess again in a short while. LOL. Glad you found some treasures to use for your project.

Yes it can get away from us so fast if we do not keep up with it.. I have several shelves that need some sorting done to it again.
