I moved all fabrics except for fat qtrs to my "regular" sewing room. My fat quarters are in plastic pull out drawer cabinets under the longarm and I don't have room for them in my regular sewing room. My yardage fabrics are in three 4 ft. wide cabinets. It is all folded, organized by color in the cabinets. I am working on getting the fat quarters organized by color also. Today, I separated scraps I am using in "15 minutes of play" (google - or check out my blog with info on the scrap blocks I am working on currently -http://sewcrazyfl.blogspot.com/). I also put wider strips into another box for the spiderweb quilt I am in the process of PP. I also separated all larger scraps to be sewed into strips or cut into blocks. I feel like I have accomplished a lot but it was very slow going. Anyway, there is hope, just pick a spot and start.

Oh, I would really like to be your neighbor. LOL Looks like tons of fun. We would have a ball organizing your stash.
If you do much sewing, I would keep the fabric as the price of cotton keeps going up.
We have to drive 45 min. to buy fabric except for our LQS. Her fabric is $10.50-12.75 a yd.
That's why I say to keep the fabric you have!

I so need to spend less time on the computer and more time in the sewing room!

I called my husband in to look at your pictures. I still don't have courage to post a picture of mine, but thanks for posting. I didn't let him read your comment about "too much time on the computer." Mine is in the same room so it's easy to multi-task. Problem is, there's too much multi and too little tasking.
