Especially if you don't like them, you might be willing to give more of it in exchange for fabrics that might be harder to find. People could be swayed by the amount of the trade! There are lots of options. Or have some give aways on your blog. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean that others don't. You could even let people pick the ones they want from your collection.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710673755073476003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812720369351451879.post-45647882465482993892010-06-23T06:33:40.914-07:002010-06-23T06:33:40.914-07:00I use under the bed plastic bins.

For collections that I have several pieces of, those are grouped and piled separately. Then I have my solids in another pile. Then some other little piles BESIDE my bookshelf because I'm running out of room on my two shelves!<br /><br />If you need any help getting rid of those fabrics in the "will not use" pile, I am more than happy to help! I see some Wonderland, Hey Sugar (the red-ish orange, pink and ivory and orange diagonal stripe), Nicey Jane and some Oz that I could invite over to play with my stash.
