Thanks! I am giving a quilting demo on "Tips" for our guild next month and have been collecting ideas. This will be a favorite I'm sure! JC

although i use the ones from Joanns, they are free, and i cut them in half...

I loved all of your suggestions on how to organize fabrics by wrapping them around things. I really like the cake boards idea. (From Wal Mart). I cut them in half & wrap 3 or 4 fabrics on them. I recently started cutting the curved edges off foam meat trays & wrapping 3 or 4 sm. pcs. of fabrics on them. Works great. I just knew they could be used for something.
