I have folded enough fabric to fill up the first bookcase. I think it looks pretty good, with all the fabric folded this way. Once I find all my fabric, and get it folded, I will work on sorting it all by color families. But just getting it folded and having more room on the shelves is an accomplishment.
Here is a picture of all my solids. I may find more in my other boxes, but I think this is most of them. At least there is some room to add more, if I should come across any more in my boxes.
I have most of the fabric folded on the top shelf of bookcase 2, but didn't get a picture of that. I should be able to finish up the last of bookcase 2 and get some of what is piled on a chair, folded in the next couple of days. I wanted to get it done before I unpacked more boxes because I know I will find more fabric, and I wanted to have a place to put it before I take it out of the boxes.
I also plan to clear off a couple of shelves in the bookcase next to 2, so I have at least 2 more shelves for any fabric I find. My threads are in boxes on those shelves, and I think I have a better place to put my threads, so I will be working on that after I'm done with bookcase 2.
So far, I have folded 597 yards of fabric. I don't even want to guess at how much I have in half yard and fat quarter pieces. But I probably will have well over 1000 yards of fabric, including scraps, by the time I'm finished organizing and counting it all. Good thing I have lots of ideas for quilt tops I want to make, and once I'm done organizing, I can get busy cutting and sewing them all.
Well, it's time to get back to work... I have more fabric to fold.
Until next time... Happy Crafting!!!
