Wow I am also new, (since July) I am "building" my quilt room, will use some of your ideas if you don't mind. :)

Very nice and amazing organization! Do you sort by "types"...charm squares/layer cakes/etc or by color or both? Love your room. Thanks for posting a picture!!

Generally, I sort by theme or type, such as:

* Children's fabrics
* 1930s Repros
* Flannels
* Civil War Repros
* Wovens
* Holiday
* Layer Cakes
* Jelly Rolls

organized? You mean I'm supposed to be organized? I love organization - it brings such peace to my life, but I am incapable of organizing. Can't explain it. My brain just doesn't work that way. If someone gets me organized, then I can maintain it, but I can't seem to do it for myself.

Also, Eddie, I'm curious to know what kind of machine you use. What wonderful workspace.

Awesome space. It looks like you have a lot of light.

I'm glad to see you do it this way. I do too, but it seems everyone sorts by color - I was beginning to feel like the odd one out. Nice to know I'm in such good company!

My main machine that I piece and quilt on is a Brother QC-1000. The smaller embroidery machine is a LB-6770 and was a freebie that I got when I bought the QC-1000. I love them both!
