Thanks for all the replies. I've now reorganised! First I pulled out a lot of fabric that no longer inspires me, and that will be donated, as will about 70% of my scraps - they were out of control! I've sorted the fabric into 3 sequences by size, very roughly under a quarter yard;, quarter yard to somewhere over a yard; possibly big enough to use as backings. Then by colour. The small pieces are filed vertically in a basket and the rest in drawers. It looks great, and it's much easier to see what I've got.
