When fabrics are stored by color, I have big problems "seeing" a quilt and coordinating fabrics becomes a bit of a chore. I store most of my larger pieces on clothes hangers (a la Leah Day) in a closet in a "this goes with this and this" arrangement. This way, many of them are already matched up when I choose a pattern to make. I have a couple of small stacks on a shelf of anything a yard or less, easy to go through when I need to. Because I don't have a huge stash, this works well for me.
