WIP Friday - Spring Cleaning

I'm still in the process of cleaning out my 'old' fabrics and trying to find them new homes, but there is a LONG way to go! I pulled out 2 new tubs of fabric and panels, and some has already been claimed, but there's not even a noticeable dent! The only bad part about the destash is that I don't want to put the fabric back on the shelves after I pulled it out, so my family room is starting to fill up with tubs of fabric waiting to find a new home...

2 tubs of fabric to destash...top one is already listed but the bottom is waiting.

The good part is that I'm finally updating the albums with fabric for orders! I'm only about 100 pictures in...and that was not even 1/4 of one shelf...only about 10,000 more pictures to go!
