It really helped me to get all my fabric out of miscellaneous totes, tuppers and bags. Now that it is folded on shelves I have a much better idea of what I do have and can relatively easily find what I need for whatever project I'm doing. Also this way I can see that I don't have enough of something if I can't remember how much of that pretty blue and green batik I used on that quilt last summer. LOL! Now I still need to reorganize periodically as stacks get shuffled with pulling out fabric to audition for projects. And I need a better method of storing my scraps, but that's a project in itself.
