    My poor stash isn't sorted at all. I have thought of trying to organize it, but that is as far as I get, just thinking about it. It's in cabinets with glass doors and is very colorful when you come into the room. I have a friend who is a great organizer. Said she come help me. I haven't gotten far enough to organize for her help. Do you think I might be sorting challenged?

    I have 1. a "pets" section (I do a lot of pet placemats)
    2. Holidays
    3. By color (main color that jumps out at me)
    4. Solids
    5. Novelty - prints that have so many colors no other section works.

    These are my piles:
    Yardage that is long and wrapped on bolts.
    All batiks and blenders.
    White and off white.
    Civil War prints.
    Patriotic.
    Separate color piles.
    Multicolor prints with a white background.
    Novelties.
    I don't have a large stash so the piles are not large.

    Thanks so much for the great ideas, and for letting me know I am not alone in my sorting problem. And yes, Ms. Beautiful Pappillion, you are definitely shorting challenged! We also have a Pappillion, named Bella running our household!

    I sort by colors with batiks, novelty (cats, kids, etc.), landscape collection and hand dyes in their own sections. I keep my flannels separate.

    I put it in the pile that I think I will chose most fabrics from to go with it.
