I always procrastinate on integrating new fabrics to my stash when I have to fussy-fold them, but if my stash looked like that, I'd be more motivated!

And I looked! Your Hillside Houses are gorgeous, especially the glowing windows of light. <br /><br />I too keep my fabric on shelves but I disagree with it being an onerous task. I love looking at the stuff and stroking it as I fold and stack it. I fold mine in half parallel to the selvages (so it is a quarter-width wide), wrap around a 8.5" wide ruler, then extract the ruler. Other than thickness, fabric bundles are all the same size then independent of yardage. I store on shelves by yardage – 1 yard shelf, 1.5-2 yards, 2-3 yards, over 3 yards. This drives my daughter crazy when she "shops" my stash because she organizes hers by color as you do. I like seeing stacks of intermixed colors and I get a kick out of different combinations that pop that I had not imagined would do so.DianeLoves2Quilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704655734477952685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8616554634412945301.post-2543096791649045042015-06-24T12:08:42.618-05:002015-06-24T12:08:42.618-05:00Great colors in your Hillside Houses quilt.

This winter I went through all my fabric, measured, folded it, labeled how much is there, and put it on comic boards. I originally set them on end like books on a shelf, but I found I could put more fabric in less space when I put them in piles like your fabric is. It's harder to get the pieces out, but saving the space is more important for me.

They look luscious and so easy to get to and use. Could the mismatched seam be easily fixed by taking a seam across the top where it is obvious? It looks fine on the bottom. The houses just glow in the evening sky.

You did a great job! Had to look real hard for your mismatched seam, so perhaps you could get away with simply moving on to the quilting. <br />Your sewing stash looks great and so well organized. It really helps to get everything right at hand. I forget I have fabrics all the time if i don't organize them on shelves.
