    I am with the group that is suggesting to keep it for awhile.

    No law against trying to sell it - many people sell fabric- and if it is advertised, it may be what someone has beel looking for .

    I keep mine as I never know when I am going to need a special gift and I want have to run out and buy more fabric for that special project. I also have a lot of crafts, painting and flower gardening. I love reading and making clothes for myself and my DGD's. I never stop at any of the things I love doing, I just work on the things I feel in the mood for at the time.

    I have a friend that covers boxes with fabric. She then uses the fabric box to fill up with goodies for a baby shower...diapers, wipes etc...

    I have some fabric I'm not sure if I want to keep or not. I purchased some space bags and stuffed them full, sucked the air out and was amazed at how small the pile got. It's now under the bed and I wrote a note and pinned it to my bulletin board which is above my desk. That way I won't forget it's there and what's in it so if I decide I "need" it I'll have it. After a few months or so if I haven't used it I will donate it.

    I would keep it for a while. You could always use some of it for doll clothes. When cut small it tends to lose its original pattern, and then there are mini quilts or rugs for doll houses.

    Donate or sell it. However, I must warn you, this advice comes under "Do as I say, not as I do." I keep way too much "just in case" stuff, including fabric.

    I have read lots of suggestions to gift it or donate it, and those are fine ideas. However, I would like to add the option of selling it here on the board. A lot of us do quilt for various causes and an opportunity to buy fabrics at a very reasonable price could be a godsend.
    Even if you hold on to it for 6 months or a year first, many of us enjoy shopping here on the board.
