    Just makes it easier to get more, knowing it can fit in some nook or crannie somewhere.

    You are so funny. I'm using your excuse for my fabric being the way it is.

    I clean my sewing room, line the fbarics up just fine, assort by color, etc. I have bins,baskets, three walls of shelves away from the sun, an 18 x 18 ft roonabd how nice,.......oops then I have to pull fabrics for a project, fabrics for a swap, tops for Project Linus nad Quilt for Kids, then retreats, sewing bees.....and Wallah....back to "can;t find the table, have to climb over the fabric on the floor, now where was that????/It's all a vicious cycle. But when I go to clean again, it's like "here it is", Forgot I had that. Kind of keeps the stash in your mind. LOL
    Neat quilters have too much time on their hands.
