Hi Natalie, I personally like the first one as I love colors. I fold on the ruler as well and put anything 1/2 yard and more in the method. I put full FQ in skinny drawers and the bigger scraps in the wide drawers. Like the strips and etc. I also put them in those drawers by colors. Like reds all in one blues all in one yellows and so on. I will post a picture of mine later on this week I am cleaning my area good this summer. I have been a quilt maker for over 30 years. I started in 1977 in the fall and have not looked back!. So over the years I have accummulated a lot of fabrics. I love the clean and not cluttered look of the first photo! my 2 cents woth.
