So, I've started putting my fabric on comic boards; not done, but really liking how much better my shelves are looking. I can actually see each fabric and pull it out/put it away without a stack toppling over!
I started cutting off a strip of fabrics I knew I would use soon before putting them on the boards to get a head start on some upcoming projects. For instance, I am making a Delectable Mountains runner in earth tones from 5" squares, so I cut a 5" strip off of those fabrics before putting them away. I like having the fabric already ready to go before hand. Might be a good idea to cut a 2.5" strip off of yardage when you get it home if you like JR's, or 5" if you like charms. Good way to build your scrappy stash or your own precuts.
