Mine are separated by color. Anything larger than 4 yds still gets ruler folded but not half-folded and all stored together on top shelf. I keep all my Stash Fabric in one area so I don't lose them- you know what I mean. I bought a bunch of Iris Shoe Boxes- Costco- and store Projects in them until I have all the materials or ready to start. I really think you have to work out what is good for you. Good Luck.
