How do you store your stash?

I have 6 large totes that I store in my laundry room, the drawback is that they are in two rows, so it is heavy lifting. I feel better reading this, though, I thought I had too much, but I am looking more normal by the minute. And I feel good about that.

In my parsonage (my family still lives at home, so this is my domain for a good portion of the week)the dining room has floor to ceiling built-in china cupboards. Alas, these are full of fabric sorted by color group. Two of the drawers are full of fat quarters. I have seven totes of folded fabric (remember, I am the 'Remnant Queen') I have a large round folding table set up on gallon paint cans for cutting surface. In the closet there is 6 large shopping bags full of scraps (for our baby/child quilt ministry). Who needs a dining room anyway??

The good thing about using a walk-in closet is that the sun does not get in and neither do my cats. I can see at a glance most of my yardage and all of my boxes are labeled.
I used to have 2 dressers in there to hold the fabrics.
And I did have to downsize a bit when we put it together.
It was difficult at first but in the end I passed on stuff that I was either no longer interested in or was not going to finish anyway.

I have a bureau--one drawer is all yellows, another for blues, one is all batiks, the other is hand-dyed fabrics and the bottom is for all the stabilizers. Then I have a bookcase with all shelves full of fabric sorted by color. I also have big tubs where I have my collection of fabrics with gold threads, then on my cutting table, on shelves made with glass bricks, I have see thru shoe boxes with the smaller (1/2yds.) pieces. I won't say what all is in the garage, but there are two plastic Iris carts. . .
