Re-ordering the Order, Part 1

As someone who keeps things pretty organized, there are still times where I have a "doh!" moment regarding to how best to manage stuff.  In this case it is the leftover fabrics from my quilts.  Up to this point, I was sorting the leftovers by size cut, which really made it a bother to put away the leftovers once a project was done.  I would have to sort everything by size, and then put them in the various bins.  Even up to now, when searching through all my bins for a certain fabric, it still didn't occur to me that there was a better way.  

Finally the light came on, and I realized that sorting by color and grouping all the leftover of each fabric together would make things so much simpler.  So began the Big Sort....

Last week I did a quick sort by color, and just tossed them back in the boxes.  This week I took out all the fabrics in each box, re-bagged each fabric together, and labeled the boxes.

Once I was done, I then gather the leftovers from my latest project, bagged them up, and put them in the appropriate tub.  So much easier!
