Am working on mine also. I tend to know I have fabric somewhere only to go buy some more. Come home and it jumps at me later. Found a lot of lost fabric this way. Used bookshelves and put fabric on boards..Now I can find most of what I was looking for. Keep at it. You will be so much happier..

Thanks zozee for those tips on how to conquer the overwhelming feeling "where to start" Your ideas gave me some encouragement. Good ideas. I tend to look at the whole picture and then give up before I can get started. I liked the idea of setting a timer for 15 or 20 min. I think I could handle that. The only thing that scares me is the part of rating a number and purging the lower numbers because even though I may never use some of the fabrics, I have the feeling that if I want to try something new and not use real good fabrics, I can do a sample with the fabrics I'm not too fond of anymore, just to try something new in case I mess up. What do I do about that? I have trouble parting with things. I tell myself I love all of them, so I don't have the courage to part with things I purchased because I liked them. Oh my zozee. Is there any hope for me????

Idea, today sorted fabrics (blues) and put in bundles if they played well together. Had some pillow panels and trying to use them up in quilts. So needed blues ( and other colors) that blended. Found had odd blues that didn't work, do I want to keep them? If big yes, if small, I really had to like. Under 12" sq. I put in scraps.
