I was in a hurry one day and wanted to get some material folded. I hadn't purchased the comic boards yet. I just took my material and folded in stacks of like colors that were less than 1/2 yard then those up to a yard. Anything over was a separate stack. I put reds and pinks together, blues and purples, and greens and yellow. Brown had it's stack and also black. Navy blue went with the blues and purples. Sending prayers your way for a speedy recovery!
