The first thing I did with the sorting was to pull all of the positive/negative pairs. I put the spools in there for your color fix.
Then I made piles of other groups like this one of letters and numbers.
This shelf is all dots and circles.
This group is all stripes and other geometric prints. There is a lot of miscellaneous too.

what fun. I love your quilts and have long wondered about your stash and how your store/organize it.
I have been collecting black and white prints, have some of my favorites on the barrister bookshelves in my sewing room and the rest in a bin. Wish I had more visual storage-- would be easier to find what I wanted to use...
enjoy your blog every morning..
This stash assortment boggles my mind! You have great foresight for what might come in handy and be needed someday!
I am amazed by your collection of B & Ws. Wow, are you thinking of something in particular or just having a good time? Doesn't matter- thanks for the photos!
How fun!!!!!!
I have a few of those in my stash too! You have some prints I have never seen. What a wonderful collection!
My problem when I start this type of sort to "arrange" the stash is I start getting all sorts of ideas and glimmers and the next thing you know I am no longer sorting and stacking...
My one granddaughter plays the flute and when I made her quilt, it was full of all black and white musical instruments. So I have tons of left overs.
Color fix ... ha, ha! Love the way you sorted your black and whites. SO much goodness in those stacks.
Oh, what a gorgeous assortment!
Have you discovered any prints that you'd forgotten about?
What fun to play with such a wonderful palette of black and whites! There is just nothing like a robust stash, is there!
LOVE all your black and whites! I plan on trying to sort mine the same way you have sorted yours.
Wonderful collection!
Now, what are you going to use it for?
I'm a black/white hoarder, so I love seeing this! Mine are all folded nicely in a consistent size...but man, the patterns are in complete chaos. You've inspired me to try to put some sort of order to the hoard!
Your cactus are beautiful. Today I got a big one from the Jewel for 9.99. It is a beautiful deep red. My birthday is Nov. 18th we are birthday buddies. Roberta Adams
