After seeing all these pictures I don't have a stash--maybe just scraps. Only buy fat quarters for future use. Larger amounts are purchased as needed. In the beginning I purchased material that I liked but I never found any pattern to use it in. Store quarters in 3 drawer cart plus plastic grocery bags. Have not made any quilt larger than a twin quilt--usually lap robes, table runners, wall hanging.I am always amazed to see how few scraps are needed to make a scrap quilt.

I've shown my stash storage before, but here it is again. It is behind a sliding mirrored closet door. Specific projects and cut scrap pieces ( 2", 3", 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 and 5") are behind another door stored in plastic bins with covers. I just close the doors to keep out light and dust. My rulers are on a peg board attached to back of bedroom door.
Loved looking at everyone's stash's and storage pic's.

In case anyone was wondering what the "butter tarts" are from the you tube song - they are made with Sultana Raisins, brown sugar, butter, eggs and maybe some vanilla and they are baked in a tart shell. Her hubby is eating a Pop Tart but she sings about butter tarts. The singer must be a Canadian as she is singing about these tasty treats and also the bit about saving fabric for a friend in Calgary.
I store my yardage in a china cabinet and fat quarters in sterilite boxes. Misc. stuff in Ikea shelves. Misc projects in 3 drawer plastic - heck I put it where I can in my sewing room and store quilts in a wooded wardrobe and just got a quilt rack at the thrift store :)
