I have tried to attach an excel spreadsheet that shows my caluculations to cut the 4'x8' sheet for the fabric folding boards and also a 18"x24" sheet for the smaller fabric folding boards. I found a sign store that will sell me the big sheet for $12.00 and you can see on the spreadsheet how many I will get from the sheets. I made the big sheets a 1/2 inch larger, it would have been waste and it gives me more space to put the label that I will put on the board at the top of boards how much fabric is on the board. I can't wait to pick them up on Monday and get started. Hope the attachment works, if not, email me and I can email the file to you. Again, thanks alaskasunshine for this tutorial. Sally

I did the same thing. I went to the Dollar Tree and purchased foam boards for, yes, .99 cents. I cut them up and placed my fabrics as you demonstrated. It took me a month and just loaded them onto my shelves. I used rubber bands to secure the fabric. My problem is that I don't have them organized by color yet like you have yours. That's another project I need to do when I get a chance. Thanks for posting pictures, your sewing room looks awesome!

I was in a "do it yourself type" store and bought some extra-large cardboard boxes. I didn't need all of them after all so I cut up the extra ones and used them. Worked great.

Has anyone mentioned plastic canvas sheets yet?
I uncovered some this afternoon buried in all my stuff that I had bought who-knows-when and they were already the right size. They work great too.

Awe, MS quilter you make me blush. Please post px so we can see how you're doing. What are you using to fold your fabrics on? Did you find the corrigated plastic stuff?
Thanks so much for your kind words. :thumbup: ;) :-D
