Organizing my fabric

The other day I found this wonderful tutorial on how to fold fabric to make it appear nicely on the shelf.  With our pending move to a new house, I thought it would be awesome to try her method.   Check out the tutorial written by Angela of Cut to Pieces: Fabric Folding Tutorial

The past two nights I have spent my free time folding fabric.  So far I have two tubs of fabric folded.  Both tubs had fat quarters and other small pieces which I will folder later on, but I probably have 50 fabrics on boards!  I LOVE the mini-bolts and can't wait to fold more!

What have I been working on?

Back in March I dropped a quilt top off at my Quilter to have it basted.  This quilt was a King sized border of the month QAL that I completed in December.  For some reason I decided that I would hand quilt the massive one (not sure what I was thinking).  Anyway, the past couple of weeks I have been working on the hand quilting.  So far I have the Center, and two filler borders complete.  I am about two-thirds of the way done quilting the 1st pieced border, flying geese.
 

Things should pickup here in the next month or so.  I am taking a Marti Mitchell class on June 2nd, and will be moving to our new house on June 6th and 7th.  Until then my machine is feeling neglected as it sits in the spare bedroom, surounded by a growing pile of packed boxes.

For those in the US, have a great Memorial Day weekend.
