I just got my AccuQuilt Go for scrap quilt pieces. I just have the
2", 3 1/2" and 5" square dies and the 2 1/2 strip die. Dies are expensive, but these I use alot for scrap quilts. I store the pieces in a 10 drawer rolling cart from JoAnns (on sale). The drawers aren't very deep, but I can sort by more colors and types of fabric.

I store my fabric in dresser drawers & my scrap in rubbermaid plastic containers stacked on the short long dresser. I have a very small room and share it with the computer. I have a cuting board that fits on top of my ironing board that my son in law made for me for my birthday several years ago & my sewing machine is on a desk. There is barely enough room to walk in there but it works.

I envy all of you organized quilters. Due to lack of space I have stuff in every room. Lots of large plastic tubs stacked up in a corner, as many that will fit under my longarm frame, shelves, nooks and crannies. After seeing all these great pictures I sit here marveling your space and organizational skills:-) :-) ROFL youtube!

Many of the pictures on this thread show the fabric folded into small bundles. To those of you who do this, do you have problems with fold lines that won't iron out? I'm thinking particularly of yardage - not fat quarters. I have 3 open shelving units side by side, each with 4 shelves 32" wide and 13" deep. At present, I fold the fabric around a spare cardboard 'inner', keeping the width the same as in the shop so that there is minimal folding, slide out the board and stack 2 deep on the shelf. The problem is, I can never remember what is in the back stack! I'm loath to cut off samples to keep at the front, to remind me. I'm wondering if I would be better off refolding everything so that each fabric goes from front to back - but I get a bit obsessive about creasing!
