    Love the storage! Even though I have converted my linen closet into a stash closet half is still in boxes. Can never find what I am looking for! What a help it would be to have each color together. I experimented with the 24X6 inch ruler. It really does save space! Would like to make some dividers like yours so things would stay neater. Any suggestions?

    I like your innovativ idea for storing fabric. I, too, found a neat place for fabric by putting to use something not originally intended for that use. My son had a tall gun cabinet which he did not use; he removed the gun holders and put in shelves and now I have lots of storage space.
