My cutting table is my dining room table, so when I cut, I carry the bins I need downstairs and cut there. Most of my 'cleaning up' involves my throwing fabric back into any available bin and hauling it upstairs because we need the table for a big dinner. About once a year, I sort most of my fabric back into its proper bin.
This time, one of the bins has mostly batiks and one has weird fabrics that seem to belong to no other bin. This is about 80% of my stash. I probably have about 20 yards of uncut fabric and some 100% cotton shirts I plan to make quilts out of. After I did the sorting, I was ready to sew. I worked on Wild and Goosey a little and then started the string blocks for Talkin' Turkey.
Twelve down, 48 to go!

Your method of organising your scraps sounds a lot like mine :-).
I have a box of Multicolored fabrics. Just can't be set into any other color bin.
Love your red strings! You're going to cut them up?
Hugs
Great string blocks!
You have given me inspiration to get busy and sort my scraps now. I keep putting it off because most of my sewing is finishing UFOs first. If I start sorting fabric, I might want to actually WANT to cut and sew blocks! lol Can't do that right now! I love your red strings.
Fabric organization seems to be one of those never ending chores. Looks like your session was really productive. Your red string blocks look turned nicely. Good luck with the rest.
