If you find storing your fabric and into what bin to place it, I might have a solution for you. I had a lot of scrapbook paper when I quit scrapbooking and started quilting. I fold a 12 X 12 piece of card stock in half and wrap my fabric around it, including fat quarters. As long as the fabric fits around the card I wrap it. They are organized on my shelf which is 12 1/2" high and 8 inches deep by color. All the greens are together. There is no deciding which bin it goes in as they are all there. I don't have a huge stash, and don't want one, but I find when I can see all I have at a glance, I use more of what i have, before I go out and buy a specific color to work into my project. Color shades are ever changing from year to year, and sometimes if you are using older fabric, it is hard to match up the new ones to it, especially green. Good luck I have the same problem matching greens.
