Put your fat quarters in the plastic boxes, sorted by color. Yardage can be put on the comic book boards mentioned above or use the ruler folding method. Do a search here for this method and stack these folded fabrics on the bookcases by color. When you choose a fabric to pull out of the stack of folded fabrics, put a magazine in the stack over and under the fabric you want and pull it out, the rest of the stack will stay put. The hanging rod is a perfect place to sort fabrics by project - put them in a plastic bag and hang the bag on the rod. You've got some lovely fat quarter collections - leave them out as decoration or better still - make a quilt! Once you've got it all organized, you will love sewing in there!
