Flannel
Vintage fabric (35in xWOF)- all goes in one tub
Authentic 30's feedsacks

All my Bolts (3+yards) are on the bookcase and in walk in closet.
All my 1-2 yards cuts are ruler folded, then separated by theme (floral, kids prints, Asian, animal, Civil war, 1930, etc) and solids, blenders, and the rest are separated by color on bookcases

Batiks are in a clear sterilite three drawer separated by light med dark..
Fqs are separated by color, floral, novelty in it's own sections on wall cd racks, closet maid 24/36 bin shoe organizers.. Each area has its own 'theme' so i can find what I'm looking for.

My scraps are in specific see- thru bins, tubs and drawers depending on size..

Each Accuquilt Die cut shapes have a clear sterilite drawer all of its own- I do have most if not all the dies already.. lol..
strips less than10 inches but longer than 5 inches of has a a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
Strips longer than 10 inches but less than WOF has a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
2 inch strips are hanging on the back of the door
1.5 x wof has a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
2.5 x WOF strips has a a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
3x WOF strips have a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
5x WOF strips have a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
all other strips x WOF are separated by colors and has a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
Crumbs have a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
Scraps less than a fq but larger than 6x6 has a clear sterilite drawer all of its own- these are waiting to be cut with my Accuquilt
2 in sq have a clear sterilite drawer all of its own
