If you only have room for storage bins or tubs, see if you can fine the ones that are meant for hanging file folders. I got this idea from someone somewhere! Actually she was using a regular file cabinet and hanging folders.

Here is a picture of the totes I found at a Habitat store for like $3

I love the idea of hanging folders. Need to check thrift shops for some. Think this is the best idea I have seen. I have really been using up my stash and it is a manageable size - really trying not to have a huge stash.

I bought a $6.00 book @ martingale books on quilt room organization for any size room. Took some of the advise that I could use. Worked slick. same space -- better to work in & find things. Book is called "Creating your Perfect Quilting Space" by Lois Hallock.
