I saw recently that Sizzix had come out with a special die for folding fat quarters. Basically, you cut the die from cardboard (I used comic book boards), and wrap the FQ around it, and they store in regulation-size photo boxes. It's a pretty ingenious idea for a die. I have a Sizzix Big Shot (kept from the days when I used to scrapbook instead of quilt) so I bought the die, and I have to say I love this type of storage for my FQs! I used to fold them the way Nancy Zieman demonstrates on her website, but that method creates a lot of folds and requires a lot more pressing. This method of wrapping them around the Sizzix die-cut has only two folds long-ways, which is nice.

I have an old VHS video cabinet that I had repurposed to hold my FQs when I had them folded up small. Now it's holding my photo boxes, with all the FQs sorted and boxes labeled (I am a labeling fanatic). The other items you see in the photo are my panels, which are folded around comic boards also.
