I have fabric, have the boards, all that is missing is TIME to get into my organizing. Love your shelves and how you have them by color. I will have to empty my closet shelves and start putting fabric on boards and then put back in closet. You have inspired me to get moving, after I make a wedding quilt.

Oh, to have those shelves and cubbies!!!! I'm jealous but hopeful to get my fabric all in one location instead of all over the house in totes. I've measured and folded a lot of it, but that's as far as I've gotten. Thanks for sharing your wonderful space. Happy sewing.

I went through 3 packs from amazon. I did ruler fold the 3 yd and greater fabics. Fat 1/4s and larger scraps were ironed and placed in 2 large plastic under bed containers. Fabric bought to go together went on their own shelves. I was surprised that I have so may 1/2 yd focus fabrics and few blenders. Now I can see what I need to buy.

I actually get 'magazine' boards at the comic book store (you can also get them online). They are 8 1/2" x 11" and fit my shelves pretty good. I just fold my fabric to the size and fold it on the 'boards'. It is just enough support to stand up on my shelves. Typically a package of 100 costs about $10.
