I went to Joanns today and the ladies at the cutting table were more than happy to give me the cardboard from the bolts of fabric. One 23" board will yield 4 11 1/2"

Feel free to read through the posting. The material used is COROPLAST. Call your local sign shop to buy it. You will need to cut it or pay them to cut it for you. Have fun & happy folding :thumbup:

The coroplast is available at a lot of large hardware stores in 4'X 8' sheets, also in many colors.
It's easy to cut with a utility knife and your quilting rulers, or an old rotary cutter works well too.

Living where you live i see you need the stash and being organized.This month of December,how long does it stay dark?

Great idea!! My question though is how do you keep dust household odors from your great fabric. Also would sunlight from windows fade exposed fabrics. I know it would take me a long time to use this much fabric so those would be my concerns. It looks great and you can see all that you have in a glance which would be most helpful. thanks for sharing cheryl
