    She does have personal charisma, even in translation, doesn't she?

    In the spirit of the Kon Mari way I decided to hang all the yardage I have which is big enough to be used as backings or significant portions of a pieced back, so for me, 3 yards and up. I've got most of them clipped into skirt hangers so I can see what I have at a glance rather than rummage through big bins where it's out of sight, out of mind. 2 big bins out from under foot makes me happy.

    If I have the energy, I'll fold my fat quarter to 2 yard collection all nice and uniform too.

    I already have my smaller than fat quarter scraps in color coded bins and under pretty good control.

    Sounds like I am doing what she is advocating, surrounding myself with items I love. Hahahahahaha!

    Thanks for starting this I had never heard of Marie Kondo and I am finding this very interesting.

    Fabric gets dusty and fades, mousies hide nuts and seeds in them, a mommy squirrel tore the batting off a quilt sandwich to make a nest, and moths needed to share the space with my indigo-dyed wool. All sad tales but true.

    Of course I am not taking them out and admiring them every day, or hahahaha dusting.

    I don't even put my thread spools on the wall where they can get dusty. But I do like to look in the drawers and enjoy my stash that way. I know it's there, hidden away and safe.
