That's a great idea! A whole unit for 1930s! Love that idea.

I arrange mine by color but keep any batiks together as a group, into labeled plastic containers about the size for shoes. My cutting table is 4 x 8 and I added a shelf underneath it so have 2 rows of containers on the top shelf and 3 rows of containers on the bottom shelf or actually the floor.

Do these have boards inside them or do the racks have shelfs to keep the fabric from falling through? I love this idea.

Here's a photo of the CD holder on amazon, it looks to me like the wire shelf is able to hold the fabric in place.

Because I have never had a space allocated for quilting, I have to store my quilting materials with my sewing supplies. For years I have stored those things in 2 big plastic boxes--one for sewing and one for quilting (usually the scraps from my sewing). I just look at the organized space you ladies have and wonder if I will ever have a space like that. What I see is fantastic.
