I'm with you on the creasing of the fabric as a problem, mostly I keep my fabric folded as you describe. For the smaller fat 1/4's, they get scrunched more, and BEST PRESS helps alot.

I have shown mine before, but many of you may not have seen this. I have a long wall of 3 floor to ceiling closets. Only the one is quilting fabric, one is flannels, and one is fleece. Then I have file drawers under my 60x80 ironing table. There are 10 file drawers with fat quarter and scrap storage. I like all my fabric away from light and dust. Plus when the doors and drawers are closed the room looks neat.

The video was awesome. I've heard her song from the CD before, but the video is hilarious!! (And gave me some new ideas...)

I use the wire baskets, too. I can see what I have, and it still protects the fabric from the dangers of the cats trying to build beds in it! For the most part, the fabric is sorted by color, w/ drawers for batiks, 30's, and plaids. When I need to cut, I can pull out the whole drawer and bring it to the cutting table.

Wow - impressive collection people. It's like going window shopping online. Love all the ideas. I mainly have fat quarters due to the price of fabrics here in New Zealand and that I like scrap quilts so tend to use larger varieties of one colour rather than a large quantity of one fabric. I store in baskets on a shelf. I used to keep my fabrics in suitcases under my bed until my DH built me a shelf. Can't wait for the quilt room - daughter moves out next year so I am dreaming about it now.

OMG I am having fabric withdrawals looking at all that fabric. Ok now I have to have a big stash again....NOT. Love the bins and ideas. I think Luvtoquilts likes 30's. LOL. Thanks for sharing everyone.

Are these made of wood,partial board or cardboard? And approximately what do they cost. maybe by size. Thanks I really like the looks of these. Mary

WHAT A STASH! Husband thought I had too much. I don't come close. I do sort mine by color in clear totes. I have one for pinks, blue, green, red, yellow, plaids and misc. I use clear shoe boxes for left over strips and blocks--these are by width--2" 2 1/2" and so on up to 6"
