If you don't have a lot of space......the boards that the fabric comes on take up almost an inch of space on your shelf. I did mine like that and wound up taking them all off. I use an 8 1/2 by 20 ruler, wrap it around then fold in middle and lay flat. Gave me so much more room. I fold my half yards and fat quarters a different way to fit the shelves I have which are cd shelves. Not very deep but serves the purpose. I am rearranging right now and if I ever get finished will post a photo. Regards
