I also folded some of my new fabrics in this way on Saturday and it is brilliant. A few down and many to go........

QUESTION: what do you do with larger cuts, like 4 yards and above? The roll is so thick you can't fold it. Larger ruler?

I use my 3x15 for anything 1/2 yd or less, and anything 1 yd or more I use my 6x24 ruler. The inbetweens, it depends on whether it's a large scale print or not. I LOVE how my stash looks! (Old photo of my workspace, but you get the idea!)

Good idea! Thanks, Gail.
