Stash Organizing Question
#1
I am trying to sort my fabric (as many seem to be doing for 2011?) and am wondering how to sort and show on my bookcase;
what I have is:
range of print colors, some tone-on-tone, some solids, 8-9 orientals, 8-9 neon bright, 10-15 batiks, mostly leftover feedsack type, 18 homespuns.
I am curious how you all do it? Do you sort specifically by color (thus mixing up the orientals, batiks, brights, homespuns and feedsacks together) or do you categorize? I'm alittle anal here! haha

This seems to be working for me, as I am normally looking for a certain color to complete a quilt, and have all my fabrics folded with ruler and stacked so the fold is visible, so I can see what the fabric is, without making too much of a mess.
If you find a better way, let me know!!!

I have a pretty modest stash and generally keep them sorted by colour, encompassing all different "brands" of that colour (prints, tonals, batiks). I also sort fabrics for planned projects together and separate from the rest. I may change my method as my stash grows (which is happening quickly - I recently ordered 36yrd of various fabrics - prints, tonals, blenders, batiks - and inherited a bunch from my great grandmother) and I don't have a "plan" for ANY of them, lol.
