I have mine folded and stored in clear plastic shoeboxes from WalMart, and sorted by color and tone (i.e. light blue, med blue, dark blue etc.). I can immediately see what colors/patterns are in each box, and it makes it very easy to pick out the colors I want. I can also see whether I have a big piece or a small piece of each one by the depth of the fold. A couple of exceptions: Christmas fabrics are separate as are most of my florals (hard to determine which color box to choose for them).
