There's  not a lot of anything going on except the yearly big tidy and sort going on just now.   There's a little spot behind the printer, which is the perfect place to keep a few projects.   There's projects stashed all over the house.  lol


There's seven 58 (?) quart tubs of fabric stash.  Folding the fabrics in this way works well, as it's pretty easy to see what's in there when rummaging.


The other six tubs look more like this.  lol. Sorting the tubs is going to have to be put off until the scrap bin is dealt with.  


This isn't a "scrap system".  It's not organized enough to be a system.  The baskets are from the Dollar Tree.  (I know, I'm such a big spender.  lol)  

Until recently,  anything that was 6 inches wide or less was tossed in the scrap bin and was pretty much ignored until the lid wouldn't fit. lol  The bags are in alphabetical order and labelled by color.  

There's squares and strips (a strip is anything that is too long to be cut into a square) in half inch increments up to 6 1/2 inches, plus 9 1/2 and 15 1/2 inch squares (just because I have a couple of rulers in that size).  Anything smaller than 1 1/2 inches either gets cut into a 1/2 inch hexagon or if it's too small, tossed in the bin.  Hexies are particularly good for those weird appliqué edges.
