I seperate all my less than a yard by color group and then fold and 'stand-on-edge' in a plastic drawer. Have them all sorted by color, perhaps a couple colors together, and if so, will put a note on the front of the drawer, Yellow, orange and purple. Have like a whole drawer of white and black and blue....Got these drawers at Walmart, you can buy them one at a time and they stack/nest together, mine are as deep as my closet, so no wasted space. Everything over one yard gets wrapped on a board and put on my shelves....when I do that I started pre-measuring the pieces and then after I wrapped them used a small piece of paper to put size on, and any other information I had, such as, washed, not washed, bleeds, very expensive, very cheap....if I used only a piece, would subtract from the total....has worked for me.
