I'm working on putting mine on mat board from a local frame shop. This one gives away scrap that is too small. It's acid free and stiff enough. I cut it too the size I need for the container or shelf and presto! I now can use some fabric storage things that wouldn't stand up before

This is how my room is organized..
These are in 30 gal tubs no matter what size pieces they are: Holiday- each holiday (xmas, 4th, halloweenie, easter, etc) have its own tub Flannel Vintage fabric (35in xWOF)- all goes in one tub Authentic 30's feedsacks All my Bolts (3+yards) are on the bookcase and in walk in closet. All my 1-2 yards cuts are ruler folded, then separated by theme (floral, kids prins, asian, etc) and solids, blenders, and the rest are seperated by color on bookcases Batiks are in a see thru sterilite three drawer separated by light med dark.. Fqs are separated by color, floral, novelty in it's own sections on wall cd racks, closet maid 24/36 bin shoe organizers.. Each area has its own 'theme' so i can find what I'm looking for. My scraps are in specific see- thru bins, tubs and drawers depending on size.. Each Accuquilt Die cut shapes have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own- I do have most if not all the dies already.. lol.. strips less than10 inches but longer than 5 inches of has a a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own Strips longer than 10 inches but less than WOF has a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 2 inch strips are hanging on the back of the door 1.5 x wof has a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 2.5 x WOF strips has a a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 3x WOF strips have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 5x WOF strips have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own all other strips x WOF are separated by colors and has a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own Crumbs have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own Scraps less than a fq but larger than 6x6 has a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own- these are waiting to be cut with my Accuquilt 2 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 2.5 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 3 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 3.5 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 4 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 4.5 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own 5 in sq have a see thru sterilite drawer all of its own And that's how my room is organized..

Wow! You're are so organized.

Luvtoquilt omg i read her blog and figured her system was doable by anyone who had secret elves helping them but oh my you proved me wrong....unless you make me feel better and say you do have secret elves
|
Oh wow, talk about a can of worms opened! Here's my method, but keep in mind two things: I'm kooky in my thinking and there's no "one right way" (thank goodness). I store collections together first. Then sort by color. I started out just putting reds together and so on. But, now I'm slowly separating the colors by value.
I agree, be consistent with which ever system you choose. You can do some tweaking later, but it's so much work to start over and completely change the system. (Not doing that again!) |
wow thats is organazation.....

I sort by color also, but if it's a particular collection I try to keep it seperate. I used the ruler method of folding (6 x 24), didn't want to use the boards.
