I totally agree with Imsewnso. I too regret getting caught up in the fabric buying, stash building frenzy. It's ridiculous, in my opinion, to have all this fabric and let it sit in the closet. I don't sew as often as others, so for me, it's a lot of money sitting there doing nothing. For those who quilt on a regular basis, I guess it makes sense. Not for me however. But, to answer your query, I store my yardage on mini bolts, upright, on shelves in a closet with doors. Smaller pieces are in plastic tubs.
