A Major Fabric Diet

Sighhh.... it was only a couple of days ago that my stash was overflowing and taking up almost every corner in my home--much to my husbands disliking. I dramatically reduced my stash and did some major stash busting!

Remember this?......

Everything organized by color, calico, vintage solids, flannels and overflowing everywhere. Not like that any longer. Thanks to the big help of my best buddy who came over and helped take away a great amount of the fabric--(it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be) has helped me clear away my clutter.

Here is how it looks so far in all it's disorganized mess and splendor--Caution...de-stashing in progress:

Empty tops, not as full shelves....this is a good start.

These still have to make it's way somehow into my main wall unit. A big difference from before.

Look! All empty behind the doors!

An embarrassing mess, but I tend to make a big mess before it actually gets sparkly clean.

It is nowhere near finished, I still have to organize and decrease some more. There is still the books, the many unfinished quilt blocks, unfinished quilt tops, and tons and tons of pre-cut 1 1/2"-10" squares that I was saving for so long, I think it is finally time to let go. There's still the bins of scraps that I'm going to be going through now w/ a different eye, plus, I've signed up for swaps that only require me to send scraps and of course I'll add tons of extras to it so a big de-stash it is!
