I have my fabrics in stacks, too. I colorized them until I ran out of space in the stack, then it went to hodge-podge stacks, but it works.

They are the adjustable vinyl sided "boxes" that can be built to any height/width, etc. I use my 6" wide ruler to fold my fabric. It's just like using the cardboard bolts at the fabric stores. But after I fold it, I pull out my ruler and then fold them in half the other way. Two rows fit perfectly in each shelf. I also just love looking at my wall of color.

One other idea I use is under the bed shoe storage containers. Got them at Hancock Fabric. They hold "tons" of fabric!

It does bring up the t-shirts, but if you type "wallboard" in the search, it will take you to the right place.
