Thanks for showing pictures, that makes it much easier to see the fabric. I too have some clear bins, so thanks for the ideas on how to put the fabric into the bins, I usually just stack it too. Your quilt is beautiful. Hope you are doing well!!

With every re-folding, I find that I create wonderful projects to do. Wish I could say I had hand quilted one quilt in my lifetime - I started making quilts after the arthritis set in my hands. Your Dresden is beautiful and a real treasure.

I started after my first daughter got married so I've been piecing for about six years. I have a desire to do a Dresden plate...someday. They look so darn hard!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm kind of a nut when it comes to organizing my fabric. It has to be just so and I drive my kids nuts with all my labeling etc. in my sewing room!
