I spent some time last night going through threads regarding stash organization. I am truely amazed at some of the stashes that are out there, it is kind of scary for a new quilter:-) Since I am also a weaver, I know how quickly a stash can get out of hand (I really don't like thinking about my stash room for weaving) so I stopped at a local comic book store and picked up a pack of comic book boards. Much cheaper there than on-line, which is a good thing. I want to keep this as much under control as I can. Right now my dining room is being transformed into a sewing area and I have begun storing my fabrics in my grandma's china cabinet. As I said, it is just a baby stash, but one has to start somewhere:-)

You would be surprised how many quilts you can make with that amount of fabric.
Use what you have...you'll appreciate it down the line

looks good

I agree, a huge stash would be overwhelming! Keep it small but useful.

I think we are on the same page! I also have been reading the organization threads and also purchased comic boards. I have been working on organizing my stash. . Love the comic boards. I agree with above comments, your stash will continue to grow. It's hard to pass up a great sale. Love how you have used your grandmothers china cabinet!! Very cool!

Props to you for organizing your baby stash. Looks very tame and submissive in your grandma's hutch.

I agree with Faintly Artistic...I try to keep my stash small and useful. I focus on buying fabric that I need for a specific project and since there are always leftovers, I have plenty to play with scrappy quilts. Enjoy the journey.

It is amazing how fast those little stashes grow into an out-of-control one!

Ha! I thought you meant you had separated your fabrics that were intended for baby quilts.

I see you are off to a great start getting your stash organized. One tip for you: Be sure the sunlight doesn't shine on your fabrics or you may get faded areas on your lovely fabrics.
