I think whatever works for you is the way to go! LOL I have had fabric in plastic bins and even out in my storage shed for years with no issues. My mom moved out here (thank goodness she is a quilter too) and she has a lot more room so we are in the process of wrapping our fabric. Whatever you do, make it easy to find and get to otherwise you will be like I used to be - just go buy new because you can't find it in what you have!
