So much better!!!

I loved the suggestion from several of you to fold my fat quarters to fit the size of the shelf.  I don't know why this didn't clue into me sooner as it is the same way I fold my yard cuts :)  Anyhow, I was totally inspired and now my shelf looks so much better!!  Thank you so much for the inspiration to just do this!!!


The first pile are my prints that I have kept in their particular "fabric line."  I don't want to mix them up because they are favorites and I plan (eventually) to make a project with them.  The remaining 3 piles are sorted by color.  Although, I am sure some are place "wrong".  Sometimes it is really hard to figure out where a color fits :)  But I have to say, all in all, it looks a million times better and I am loving it!!!  (It also helps me to see what I need more of, tee hee hee :)

  1. I figured out to fold all my fabric around my ruler. That way they are all the same size

  3. HI MELISSA! IT'S ME AGAIN!
    I HAVE A HINT FOR YOU: WHEN YOU HAVE A STACK OF NICELY FOLDED FABRICS+YOU WANT A MIDDLE PIECE OUT OF THE STACK,JUST SLIP A GLOSSY MAGAZINE ( LIKE APQ )UNDER THE YARDAGE BY THE BOUND EDGE+YOU CAN PULL IT OUT EASILY WITHOUT DISTURBING THE ENTIRE STACK! YOU CAN RETURN IT TO ITS PLACE IN THE SAME MANNER.HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
