    I have one of the roller cabinets with four drawers. After that was full :oops: :oops: I bought some clear plastic shoe boxes and the fat quarters fit in them perfect. I sort them by color so I can just grab the box I want. Works for me.

    Did you line the cedar chest with sheeting or muslin first? You really want to do that because cedar (like other woods and paper products) contain an acid that gradually eats into fabric. That's why many old quilts that were left folded in a cedar chest for years have brown spots along the fold edges where the fabric touched the wood.

    I have two pantries I use for all my fabrics. When it comes to my scraps I have 3 rubbermaid containers for the three different size pieces of scraps, including my FQs.

    I like the toolbox idea for threads! I'm trying to come up with an idea now for my threads.

    Rolly carts for thread-
    2 drawers for thread (sorted by colors), one for needles & pins, one for zippers and such, one for seam binding.

    I also use the rolly carts for scraps. Seperated by sizes, colors, etc. I'm up to 3 of those. They all fit under my Grace frame to save room.

    Fat quarters are in the "shoe boxes" that I bought at the dollar store.
    They sit on shelves and each box is dedicated to a color. OK, so some colors have more than one box..... :lol:

    These are the only 2 pictures I can show-I would have to make sure everyone is up do date on their tetnus shots-Yes the room is that BAD right now! :oops: :oops: :oops:
