  14. Seeing all the organization is fabulous...let me ask a question. I am in the progress of creating a board that you could fold your fabric around. I have seen the plastic boards and they are wonderful, but I want something more affordable. Would this benefit anyone?? Thanks for your input.

  16. Question! How do you determine what goes into your fabric stash and what goes into your scrap basket? Maybe it's a silly question, but I'm just beginning to build a stash and have been collecting fat quarters. When I'm in a bee, I use bits and pieces of this and that fat quarter to make the various monthly blocks, so not many are whole anymore. At what point would they go into the scrap bin and out of the "stash"? I'm sure it is individual for everyone, but I'd like to hear what other people do about it. Thanks!
