Embellishments
I do have an office with my computer and files. There is a large metal office cabinet that stores most of my paint and all of my embellishments!
Fabric
My fabric is all stored behind closed doors away from dust and light. All I need to do is open the doors and I can easily see what I have. It is sorted by color and value. The stuff I dye is separate from the commercial fabric.
Scraps
Check out the boxes on top of the fabric cabinets. All leftover bits are cut into the largest size possible, and stored by size. They are in boxes labeled on both ends. I long ago decided what sizes work for me and cut my scraps into these sizes. They are: squares 1 ½”, 2”, 2 ½”, 4 ½”, 5 ½”, 6 ½”. I do not cut as many strips because I found I do not use them a much: 1 ½”, 2”, 2 ½”strips. If you cut your scraps into usable sizes, decide which sizes work best for you.
! Finished quilt will be about 2 ½ x 3 inches.
