Sunday Stash

Well I didn't have time to get a photo of the new fabric that came this week from Fabric hound, but I decided this week I wanted to show you the progress on my stash organizing project. I cannot decide if I want to color coordinate everything.
Do you think I should. I still have bins full of fabric but this project will be for the stuff I want on hand all the time. So should I separate all the colors? Right now its in stack by measurements. Half yards, or full. I did try to keep collections together though. Please help I am stuck on what to do. I also have way to many scraps still, so I plan on listing them in the store this week if I get some time.

  1. I definitely have mine sorted by color. I think that helps the most when planning a quilt.

  3. As a painter/artist, I have mine sorted by color. I have my tubes and bottles of paints sorted the same way.

    Fabric is a little harder. Where do you put the multi-colored fabrics that don't have a dominant color?

  4. I sort primarily by color. I do, though, have categories for floral prints and other multi-colored prints that don't fit one color scheme or another.

  5. Mine is also sorted by color. I do have categories like Pat.

  6. Sounds like color is the winner. But I don't care, I'm too busy drooling!

  7. I know I just finished redoing my stash, at least got everything out of all the bags and bins and folded. I would like to organize by color. I think I would keep some of the collections together. I did keep my fat quarters seperated. Doesn't it feel good. All I want to do now is just sit and look at all the pretty fabrics. lol

  9. I sort by color, and projects, I also have boxes of scraps that I could never put out, so to be honest, if I amamking something, it is fun to look through the boxes, I never know what I will find. I also keep all my Japanese fabric in one spot.
    Get those scraps listed, I am sure you have things I need!!

  12. I sort by fabric type, then by color...I keep all solids with solids...that way I can lay my fabric against the rainbow to find what works as a match. Beautiful collection!

  14. I am so with you on how to organize. I have tried colors, collections and all else and am still not happy with what I have. Guess the only choice is less fabric and that is NOT satisfactory.
