Default My FQ and scrap storage

I've been using these small Sterilite containers for FQs (and scraps that are roughly that size) for years. They're inexpensive, they stack nicely, they're just the right size for a folded FQ, and it's easy to see the fabrics. I've purchased them in many different colors in the past. Sometimes I find these in the household department with other storage items, and sometimes I find them in office supplies.

For most of my smaller scraps, I use plastic shoe boxes (shown on the right). I separate by color or style of fabric and tape a label on the front, making it relatively easy to find what I want. The fabrics are stored flat in the boxes, so they don't usually need pressing when I take them out.

I don't even want to count how many shelves I have containing these containers and shoe boxes.
