How could I resist a blog design with polka dots! One of my favorite patterns. As a quilter I'm always interested in how people organize their fabric. There is no one 'right' way of course but I hungrily devour descriptions and details from other fabriholics as to how they organize their stashes. Please note that 'stash' is the same word used by drug addicts to describe where they hide their drugs. Luckily fabric is legal so we only keep it behind closet doors to -

• keep it from fading
• keep our SO from seeing how much we have
• keep our fellow quilters from being jealous

So I re-organized my considerable stash to separate out the striped, plaid and polka dot fabric from the color groupings they were in. It was awesome! It really made them more accessible. One of the things I notice about old quilts is how varied their fabric choices are, whether by design or necessity. Quilts today tend to be more homogeneous in their fabric selections.
