I had the exact concern but also love being able to see all the beautiful fabrics. I am just now creating my quilting room/studio and just beginning to get a little stash. I LOVE Fat Quarters because since I'm a NEWBIE it lets me collect lots of cool fabrics without spending a ton. Plus I do alot of swaps so am frequently doing just one block. Anyway....I found a little cabinet with glass doors for my FQs on Craig's List. I LOVE it.....I got it for cheap and then repainted it white to match my other furniture in that room. I haven't filled it yet but can't wait. I'm hoping to find something similar for my larger amounts that I have purchased for making whole quilts.
Have you seen the ones IKEA has? They have the glass doors....I really like them.
