LOL
Love your humor and way of thinking.

Love having mine on the boards. I just sorted into colors and placed each color in a storage box. I have them stacked on the floor and can just look in the sides to see what I need. I have about 25-30 of these and so it made more sense for me to do it that way. The boards are wonderful. If you need a lot go on line and order 1000, even with shipping you save over the local shops.

I thought about ordering them online, but I don't have the money right
now to do that.
But I THINK a 1,000 boards MIGHT get me close to hold all my fabric
not sure though. However I DO cut them in half also for my smaller
cuts of fabric.

I dream of being that organized! I think you are a genium for idea of bundling the pieces you want to use together.
I get myself into trouble by repurposing something I bought with a "set" and then not having what I need when it comes time to use the set. Love your labeling system.

Thanks
Amazon.com is where I found mine.

Me too! I love the comic board idea but I'm just too lazy at the moment to go through all my fabric. Maybe next year! my fabric is folded nice and sorted into colors until I pull a bunch of it out to audition.

I do well to get the fabric on the boards and shelved in some sort of color organization! I can't imagine indicating the yardage of each piece.
