Your room is looking real good.

Your doing a fine job. I recently got my china closet out of a storage area and have it fill with my stash by color. The smaller pieces are still in plastic drawer units waiting for me to cut them into squares, strips, etc. Keep up the good work.

Nice job. I need some one to get mine organized. I don't have
the patience.

I mentioned organizing my stash to the lady at the quilt store and she said just use it.

I thought about that...but then, I'd still have to find a place to store them...just no space...and the stuff I have now is driving me nutso!

There is plenty of people that would buy those scraps after you wash them....hint, hint!
Just stuff them in a flat rate box![/quote]

Now, there's an idea!...but I have no room to use mine...have to get these fabs put in some kind of order first!

I'm doing that too in my new quilting shed. I think it is going to take a long time. DH asked me if I thought I would get through it by Christmas! LOL! Here are some of the earlier pictures. I'm sorting scraps now and filling the drawers under my ironing board.

Oh Betty - I feel your pain! I too am trying to get organized and am using the Scrap User's System. I used to store all leftovers from finished quilts in plastic totes, by color. So far, 295 yards have been put on bolts. I'm bolting anything one yard and over. If one yard piece, three of them share a bolt. Smaller yardage gets cut into decreasing sizes, a FQ if I can, then 2.5 strips, 1.5 strips, then squares of varying sizes. My first plan was to put each size of scrap into a baggie then back into a tote by color. Now I've decided to store by size. So one tote will have all the 2.5 strips, each color in its own baggie, etc. etc. How am I doing? Well, it's been a couple of weeks, the 295 yards are on bolts and I've gotten thru 5 colors. I'm getting there but the result is bad news for my LQS. I'm on a fabric diet - gotta use up some of this stash!!! I'll sign the pledge with you.

Glad to see your getting organized. It makes it so much easier when making a quilt to have your fabric organized. You can see what you have and pull fabrics from your stash. For me organization, organization, organization is important in quilt making and any hobby where you need lots of stuff.
There ar so many organizers available these days to help us out, even resale shops have shelves, bookcases.
Leaving more room to do our craft.
