I ruler fold my yardage, and it is sorted by color, kids, holiday, etc. All my fat quarters are in plastic drawers by color, holidays, kids, batiks, etc. and my strips are in clear plastic shoe boxes according to size. I have been quilting for years and have a whole room full of fabric. It changes as you get more fabric. I just like it organized so I am particular about everything being organized. My actual sewing room is usually a mess as I am working on projects and then cutting up whatever is left into squares or strips. It works for me. You will find the way that works for you. My "fabric room" has all the fabric and my long arm. My "sewing room" has my sergers, sewing machines, and embroidery machines, cutting table, and notions. When the kids left home I took over their old bedrooms.
