I thought you might want to see the solution I’ve come up with for how to store my fabric.  I recently “inherited” a large supply of fabric and wanted to get it organized so I can start to use it and see what I have.

I was inspired by the book, Color Mastery: 10 Principles for Creating Stunning Quilts by Maria Peagler.  I’ve been reading the book for just over a month, studying and trying to do the lessons. Go figure that I was having a hard time.  I couldn’t do the first lesson (the way I wanted to) without having a better handle on my fabric.  Plus, it just makes sense to have them grouped by color.

The first lesson in the book is to create a color journal.  I have my journal ready to go and I can’t wait to start filling it up!  I have so many ideas for projects but choosing colors and fabric is the most difficult part for me.  I’m glad I have this book to hold my hand through the process.  You’ll hear more about this book in the weeks to come as I start to tackle some big-ish projects (and some smaller ones) using her methods.

The best part of my newly organized fabric stash is that all of the pieces are folded so uniformly.  I love it!  I folded it just like the Happy Zombie.  It makes me super happy to have everything in there like that.

But wait!  Let’s zoom that picture out a bit.  Did I mention it is a work in progress?
