The Batik tub started like this-scraps and yardage jumbled together.
and 26.6 yards later, it looks like this....
The yardage is stacked on the left and the scraps are on the right. I am not including any scraps in yardage count, as my math skills are horrible and to add up all the inches would just boggle my mind.

The neutrals started as 1 large tub, 1 Avon box, and 1 small tub of scraps.
Now I have it down to all 89.4 yards folded into the tub
and the scraps are in the Avon box.
and the scraps are in the Avon box.So the stash count is already at 106 yards and I've barely started. However, when I was folding the batiks I started designing a quilt in my head. Let's just say I have a lot of yardage of good watery blues...
I should note- I consider "scraps" to be anything smaller than a FQ, or strips less than 6 inches in width. I also realized that I'm gonna quit buying FQ's. If it's nice enough that I want some I'm going to get at least 1/2 yards. There are several batiks I wish I had more of and I'm not sure if the LQS still has them. I'm trying not to buy at this point anyway.
Next are the Fall Fabrics and Black & Whites...

Oh wow! I could shope for days in your scraps! :) Can't wait to see as you sort the rest of your stash!

WOW!! you are doing good lady. I have no clue how much stash I have and am a bit afraid to count it all out. My stash is not as large as your's is but it is large enough. Ya know I love scraps and keep even the littlest pieces to use for the crumb blocks. Keep up the counting - will be fun to see how much fabric you have in the end. Wonder how long it might take you to use it all up? Have you decided to put yourself on a no-buy fabric diet for awhile? ;O)
