Here are the "starting" color stacks of my prints....
[I say "starting" as I haven't gotten
into my bins, boxes,
and bags as yet to pull fabrics out...
but there are not really
all that many fabrics left!!
I may have to go "shopping" to round
out some colors as you can tell from the
smaller stacks...--too bad hahaha]
The two bigger bins on the left top hold
whites and "I don't know where
to put these?" prints...
and my Jolly Bars and 10"
precuts...
and
You can just spy my leftover
bindings bin on the top right...
Here are my solids on the right
still in bins but not
yet re-folded...
I don't seem to use solids
very much so I think storing
them in bins will work--
at least for now.

on my bottom shelf
and so far my shirtings reside in that plastic
zippy bag next to the pinks/reds bin....
I will be re-assessing these after I have
gotten into my top shelf
pictured below

I did find my long-lost quilt labels fabric during my
search--so that is good...I need to label a lot
of my finished pieces...;)))
While I am sorting and folding I am
coming across lots of little pieces that are now
here
I am using my old Accuquilt Go! Baby
cutter and the 2.5" die--even though it has
dulled a lot with age...👾
(Does anyone know of a way
a way to sharpen dies?)
***********************
While doing this I've felt the need to
break my "no buy" pledge:
So I began with these two great little
Halloween fabrics that I found on sale:
AND
I plan on using them to make my grandgirls--
Willa and Fiona --Halloween placemats...
I think they are just so cute;)))
So far so good--I am resting
this afternoon after putting
in another 45 minutes this
morning...
I need to pamper my back a bit...
Hugs, Julierose,

Mostly looking at Youtube and ---gasp--fabrics online....

I love so many of your fabrics! I always find fabrics that I just can't figure out what color to place them with. Then what do you do???? My fabrics are by color but not folded neatly. Just easy to grab!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've made great progress. it's looking so neat and tidy. While I've been sorting I found a huge bag of 3" squares that I cut out years and years ago. So, I've ben sewing up 9-patches to make some charity quilts. I've made 50 blocks so far and haven't made much of a dent in the bag. Love the Halloween fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour newly folded stacks are looking really good! As far as solids, I don't use them anymore so I donated mine to someone who makes comfort quilts (they make excellent bindings). She was delighted.
ReplyDeleteSeems you are having a good tidy up, and it's always good to finally find those long missing items. Or even things you didn't know were missing, till you found them again!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing, I could never. I love how you are so neat and tidy and the colors are so appealing. What a pleasure it will be to make your next projects.
ReplyDeleteThe shelves are looking good.
ReplyDeleteYou can't sharpen dies. You might find putting a sheet of paper or 2 on top of the cutting mat will give you crisper cuts. I have to do that on several dies that don't seem to cut all the way through.
I love ❤️ your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI love that rainbow of fabric piles in your first photo! Looks like you are doing great with your sorting and organizing. And the Halloween print with the hat quote - love it! Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteThat's one thing about organizing stash - the discovery of long-lost treasures. I really need to go through mine and see what tidbits I might find.
