I ruler fold all my larger pieces of fabric, I am a scrap quilter, so when a nice person gives me scraps, I tidy them up, press the fabric and then fold. I do not press after it has been folded. I then put them away by colour, I have bins for Christmas, Asian, feature fabrics, tone on tone.
Spots and stripes in another bin, white/ cream background fabric, in another I am a collected of flower fabric so that is in a very big tote
I have boxes of different width strips, and charm squares and last of all another tote of FQ. If there is any fabric /blocks that I do not want, I give to the women's prison, they have to earn the privillage to make a quilt, of course no rotary cutters
