All the fabrics in my cabinets are yardage. The smallest pieces in there are 1/2 yards. The upper left cabinet is all back size pieces, 5 or more yards, some of them are 12-15 yards, on the left side of each color section are folds of fabrics that are 3 plus yards (I have 2 more buckets of "backs" in the garage" for all my yardage over 3 yards I use my 6 x 24 ruler, I roll the fabric around the ruler and the pull the ruler out halfway and fold in half so the "package" is about 7 x 11" or so. The stuff under 3 yards is folded in to pieces approx 4 x 11 I'm thinking if I ever refold, I may do it around a 4 x 24 ruler. I like having the stuff folded differently according to size than I can at a glance see what I have enough of for a border, focus fabric etc. All my fat quarters fill 3 drawers of the rolling plastic drawer units under the cutting tables.
I have 2 buckets of Flannels out in the garage as well, they did not fit inside :oops:
