And...who cares what other people think about how I arrange my house. Any thoughts out there on this?
I have also had several friends drop by recently to meet our new baby and ALL of them have exclaimed over how nice the quilt room is and how it's definitely "me" and therefore perfect for our home. since it's in the front of our house, as soon as you have passed the entry, you have done just that - passed the room and really, when you go over to someone else's home, how much do you dwell on the rooms you've passed by vs. the room you actually spend time in? But once again, I keep coming back to the thought that this is OUR home, therefore ours to do what we want vs. worry about what anyone else thinks we "should" do with each room.
OK, stepping off my soapbox now, hah!! I say go for it! :thumbup:

One thing I've learned in this process is how dang much fabric I have! I've purged a lot and am really happy to have gone through each and every piece of it so I really have a sense of what I have, might need for upcoming projects. I can now make good choices when I start a new project vs. randomly going out and buying fabric that I already had buried in my stash. Now I know what I've got and can put it to good use!

the table is from either JoAnns or Hancocks, mine is if not hers, it drops like that and I use it well. worth it to get it on sale though.
i especially envy your blocked storage over there, can you tell me more about that?
