I have my FQ's on comic boards that I got from amazon. Back a couple years ago they were $10 with free shipping. I cut them in 4th's and stacked them 1 layer deep in tall totes by color. Kinda like a card file. Works pretty good. You could do a little every so often before the shelving arrives.

Way ahead of you there LOL.
I have been working on putting my fabric on comic boards for
quite awhile now. In fact I found a website where I got my boards
for $8.00 per 100 with free shipping on $80.00+ order. I bought
1000 of these boards.
I have my boards cut into 1/4's and in 1/2 (length wise). Put fq's,
f8's and 1/4 yard cuts on the small 1/4 boards. If there is 12"+ by
w.o.f. up to 35" that goes on 1/2 cut boards. One yard up to 3 yards
of fabric goes on a full board.

Quilty, I know you may not want to take extra time to do this, BUT----I got the comic book boards from WM (online), 100 for 11.00 and I wrapped all my fabric on them.. OH they are so nicely displayed now...I love them. It did take a while, but they stand so proud now on my shelves. I would just take a stack of fabric and work on that, then do something else, so it did stretch it out..lol The ones I found at WM are the best for the price, I've not been disappointed at all. Jes a thot..

It's a month tomorrow that I posted it, and the post office told me it would take 7-15 days! I really hope it shows up within those five last days!

Monale -- sounds like your package is taking a world tour before it reaches its destination! I commiserate with you ... I'm waiting for mine to arrive, too ... I'm hoping today is the day!

After I had all my fabric wrapped into mini bolts and shelved on the wire shelving, my friends who were over one day started "shopping" my fabric and I had to shoo them out of the room!! The stash isn't for sale!!!!

Once I get my fabric onto the shelves it will be so much
easier for me to see what I have. I am so excited to get
my shelving.
As I said before I am weeding out anything that I do not
like. If I look at it and ask myself "what in the heck were
you thinking?" than it will be tossed to the discard pile. ONLY
fabrics I really like will remain in my stash.
Oh did I mention that there are OVER 53 bins (58qt size) not
counting anything larger or smaller than that?
So far have folded about 5-7 bins of fabric onto the comic
boards, until I ran out of boards. Just have not gotten back
to folding since I received my order, PLUS still need to take
about 400-600 in to FedEx/Kinkos to get cut.
I am trying to locate the website where I purchased my boards
from. Did find a website that has them for a GREAT price, but
they don't offer free shipping.
