I have recently spent time organizing my sewing room. My fabrics are sorted by size (1/2 yd. 1+yds., 2 -3 yds. 4-5 yds, wide backing fabrics, flannels, etc.) and stacked on the shelves in my closet. I love being able to see at a glance what fabrics I have. I have a large tote under my cutting table with fabrics for crazy quilts. I have a drawer tote with fat quarters and on a bookshelf on top of a dresser I have the clear plastic shoe boxes with charm squares cut from the fabrics smaller than 1/2 yd. These are sorted by color. My room does get messy when I am working but I try to get it organized as often as possible without taking up too much time from quilting.
