I had closets with doors and shelves built along two walls to store my fabric. I use comic book boards, and clear plastic tubs of all sizes. The less used (flannel and holiday) goes on CB boards, then in tubs which get labels. For "projects in progress" they go into clear shoe boxes or sweater boxes, with fabric, template and pattern-and get labels. Others are in jumbo zip-lock bags that go in a deep tub under my sewing machine. Those are only in need of sashing or borders. I also have a deep tub there for scraps and strings. Fat quarters have shoe box homes. Thing too large for comic book boards go on quilt shop boards on the top shelf. Tops ready to sandwich go in "under bed storage boxes" which are under my sandwiching table. I'm still moving fabric from the quilt shop boards to comic boards to condense it. Thus I was able to add two additional shelves yesterday and will add two more today. Hopefully, then I can get the rest sorted and put away properly. I'm a real "clutterer," so I have to stay organized! Hope to finish and get pix before too much longer!
I forgot to mention ... for pieces like just a yard or so, I use an old rotary cutter to cut the comic book boards in half to 4 1/4 x 11 (saves space & money.) Another tip is I buy bobby pins at the dollar store to hold the end of the fabric to the boards.
