I also
have a lot of cat prints, most of them smaller pieces – fat quarters or half
yard pieces. I started out by cutting
the panel blocks apart and putting a two inch cat fabric border around each one.
I added
more borders to join the smaller pieces up, and after a day and a half came up
with this. It looks a little wonky because I have it hung with clothes pins to
the curtains.
It’s a
good size for a couch quilt or I might add some borders to make it the size of
a twin bed. This is all I'm doing with it for now.
How do
you organize your fabric stash? It seems
like every time I need fabric, I end up pulling it all out, making a big mess
that has to be reorganized to put away.
Sometimes I organize by size – fat quarters together, one yard size
pieces together, larger pieces together, etc.
Sometimes, I group them by color or pattern regardless of size. No
matter how I organize, it seems like I always have a big mess when I go to look
for what I want. Any ideas for
organizing in a small space? I need help.

Looks good. I have my fabric in bins. One bin is organized by color. The other two are willy nilly.
Oh I really like this. Even your cat border looks prefect. I think I would keep it as a lap quilt and then never ever put it away haha. No real fabric stash for me -- just a few bits and bobs stuffed in a drawer.
For my stash (which is medium sized) I have a small bookcase only about 18" wide. It has 3 shelves - bottom for large pieces, middle for medium sized, top for fat quarters etc. I tried arranging by colour but it didn't work for me. Each piece is folded fairly neatly and on each shelf they're stacked with slightly larger pieces at the botyom up to smaller at the top. I do still need to do a bit of fiddling around when I get some out, but it works fairly well.
