Fat quarters get folded to fit the drawer they go in and are stored on end with the fold side up so I can see immediately what I've got when I open the drawer without having to pull out stacks of fabric.

I store my other precuts (both store bought and ones I make from scraps) flat in a drawer. I store my homemade precuts and leftovers from store-bought packages of precuts by value, so I have stacks of lights, med. and darks in the various sizes that I like to use. It makes it quick and easy to pull together a scrappy quilt since they're stored by size and value.

All my "precuts" and fat quarters are stored in one small 4 drawer unit, that way I can keep the dust off and don't have to worry about fading from sunlight. I can pull out the individual drawers and take them right over to my sewing machine or design wall when I'm ready to play with them.

I pretty much store mine like Rob does.
