I reduce my stash from 7 large bins to 3 drawers. You can do the same thing with fat quarters, Just fold the all alike and store. I cut up anything smaller than a fat quarter by the Scrap Therapy method. Best thing I ever did for my sewing room.
Yep, this is how I fold my fabric. If it's a half yard or longer I fold it around my ruler so that everything is all the same size. It sure stacks neatly that way and makes it easier to see what the colors are.
