Thanks for all your help. I spent a while last night watching youtube videos on organizing your fabric. It all started with looking up folding fabric on a 6" ruler. Of course I have a 6" quilting ruler, but my mind went to a ruler like you use in elementary school. It never occurred to me fold fabric that way.
I went to walmart today and while there, looked at all the smaller totes that might fit on shelves.
Thanks, innov8r for the tip on the small stuff. I have bunches of those shoe boxes.
