I use the smaller shoe box size plastic totes as I can usually get 2 rows of fat quarters in them. I label each tote with the colors inside and have them conveniently under my cutting table. When I made my latest cutting table to fit my new cutting mat (4' x 8') I added a shelf underneath that will hold 2 shoebox totes x 5 across so 10 totes. Then I can add another 3 totes on top of each other x 5 across under that shelf for scraps cut in various sizes and orphan blocks.
