    I guess if you use comic boards or something similar, you can fold the fabric so it is only 3.5" wide then you can wrap two fabrics on one board.

    I use the boards that MILates sells here on QB and she sells small boards that are perhaps 5X4 and perfect for FQ's or even smaller sizes.
    I bought several foam boards from the dollar store and cut them 8x10, trying to get the most cuts from one board.

    Question, an honest one, with your fabric on shelves like this do you have a problem with dust or fadding....two things I worry about which is why mine are in drawers in the closet ???? but yours looks better

    my fabric is also away from sunlight and I store my "currently" flat folded on shelving bought at Home Depot. I have 8 - 72" long shelves full (there's approx. 10" between the shelves) so I am approaching the hoarding stage if I don't stop buying fabric and get more stuff sewn.
