Default Fat Quarter Storage-how do you do it?

I am setting up my new sewing studio and it has been a surprise to find out how much fabric I really have. It has been in bins, plied on top of one another so if I needed something it was impossible to find. So the answer, of course, was to go and get more! Now I have the space to arrange it in a cupboard. My DH set up 2 Ikea cabinets- 7 feet wide and floor to ceiling, I thought 20 shelves was more than enough space- wrong. It is full of fabric yardage, arranged by color. The problem I have now is my fat quarters. I had planned to put them on 3 or 4 shelves, but the shelves are all used by yardage. I have 4 large bins of fat quarters that need a storage spot.
My question to you all is- how do you store your fat quarters? I would like to have them accessible as the bin storage was difficult at best.
Then there is the issue of batting storage. My big roll of W&N will live under the cutting table, but what do you do with the other pieces?
Thanks for the input everyone.
