After our move and all my fabric just put in the spare room it was time I went through and see what I actually had. With my husband out of work for 9 months I haven't spent anything. Just been using what I have... and boy do I have a lot to use. I shouldn't buy anything for years...
It was a shock to actually see what was there. I measured all my bigger pices. Anything bigger than 1 metre got a ticket on it....
I started with my basted quilts. 3 of them are ready for quilting.

Basted quilts ready for quilting.
Look what's on top. An Aussie Hero quilt |
Then there is a pile of 6 that have been matched with backings and waddings....
 |
Each week I will take one of these to my local group.
They have a great space and I will have these basted in no time... |
Now for some fabric.
These are only wide backe fabrics. They range from 2.40 - 2.70 metres.
OMG THERE IS 40 metres in this pile....
 |
| The extra width fabric for backings makes it so much easier to work with |
I have started to make piles in different lengths here on the floor.
|
| How many piles will I end up with |
Look at what I have to get through.
 |
| Look at this pile. Oops, I didn't know I had so much |
Now they are all done. Each pile is in the range of 1 metre. The first pile is 1 metre and it goes up to 9 metres. The last pile is 14 metres. Great for borders and backings too.
OMG.... IT TOTALS A WHOPPING 241.80 metres......
|
| All folded and labelled |
Here it is all boxed and labelled.
 |
| Fabrics from 1-3 metres, 3-5 metres & 5 + metres... |
And that's not all. I have got lots of tubs with scraps of fabrics less than 1 metre.
|
| Colour themed boxes of scraps. Less than 1 metre |
Boxes with themed fabrics
Tubs with BOM,s and kits.
