I keep my fabric in bins. My batiks are sorted by color blue/purples/green in one oranges/yellows/reds in another and so forth. I keep anything around 6 x 8 or larger in the color bins. Once it gets down smaller or if I just don't like it, I cut it into 2.5, 2, 1.5 squares and put them in 2 gallon plastic bags (jumbled colors) in a laundry basket for scrap quilts. Prints are sorted into their own totes, Christmas, 30's and solids. Ect. and so forth. Every once and a while, I sort the lot and get rid of things I will never use.
