Organizing your stash
#51
I would be nervous about using non acid free material unless I covered it with something. I've seen some weird staining on fabrics and paper when they were in contact with cardboard or newsprint (unprinted) for a long period of time.

All the two yard cuts are in stacks in a bookcase. Anything longer than that is wound on coroplast boards and on the bookcase and on some open shelves.

They are stacked in my spare bedroom closet. Sometimes it's a pain to be unstacking and then re-stacking the totes (I always want the fabric in the bottom tote!), but I figure that's part of my "keep limber so I can continue quilting" exercise program!
