Oh yeah... another GREAT idea. The Polar Notions boards are a hard plastic but they are the best. (polarnotions). The other boards you see offered for sale, are usually foam core. After awhile/use, they tend to crease/bend and not work as well. IMHO. I ditched that system when I had the chance to goto 24" x 15" deep pantry cabinets with doors. (keeps the sun off, cuts down on the 'clutter look'.)

I fold my fabrics onto shelves. BUT I'll be the FIRST to say, that it's much easier to find and access your fabrics if they are stored on boards. (don't use the cardboard bolts from the fabric stores - they have acid in em, bleaches your fabrics out over time). Foam core would be great for 'bolting' up your fabrics.

BTW... LOVE your stash!
