Everything had just been sort of stacked up haphazardly. My roll layer cakes (like in the back of this old picture) don't really "stack" and I had several half used layer cakes or jelly rolls that are being left out of the scrap bin because there is enough "scrap" to do another project. Seriously, I was trying to make this shelf look all pretty for this picture (take a while back) and it still doesn't look organized.
So . . . I grabbed some scrapbook paper and used that for backing to make some flat layer cakes. And of course, they wouldn't be complete with a cute little ribbon tied around them :) Then I turned the leftovers jelly strips into smaller jelly rolls. (Rolling these up to look perfect, a bit harder than you would think :) There is even a huge layer cake that is comprised of 1/2 layer cakes from 3 different lines Bonnie and Camille lines. That will be a fun project some day :) Doesn't that bottom shelf just look so pretty!!!
I was having so much fun playing with all these I didn't realize the time. When my husband came home from watching the Dodgers game he was surprised to find me still up as it was Midnight!! (no, I am not a night owl). So the Fat Quarters just got put back on the shelf to be organized (and played with) on another day. Always nice to have projects :)

All right, I am off to do a little free motion quilting on my Bernina. Should be fun :)
Have a Happy Quilting Day!!
Okay, so now that you are done with your fabric organization you can come over here and take care of mine! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic!
I'm cleaning my sewing room (http://instagram.com/p/fMLTealEBX/) and the only thing getting me through is that I know I get to play with my (very, very small) stash at the end. It's the carrot at the end of the stick.
ReplyDeleteYour shelves look so pretty. :-)
I just straightened out my fabrics & they don't look near as organized as yours, you done a good job!
ReplyDeleteMy sewing area is in great need of some cleaning. When that is going to happen is anyone's guess.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winner and thank you for hosting. Well, go 10 times that number of shelves ( tubs, totes, rolling carts, etc...) I would be doing nothing but straightening and not sewing. I think I need to use it up.
ReplyDeletelooks awesome, i've made my own jelly rolls too- tricky to roll ;)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Moneik. Thank you for hosting the giveaway. Looks good love your fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really nice! Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job! Now if I could get motivated to make mine look pretty too! mburnette912@bellsouth.net
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Your "messy" is cleaner than my "organized" :-)
ReplyDeleteOrganizing is fun!
ReplyDeleteHa, I also get distracted at night on occasions when a mad 'tidying' notion hits me! Generally not to do with anything like vacuumming right enough... ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I'm loving the thread I bought!
