How do you sort your stash? By color? By size?

I sort the fat quarters and half yards by color since they're all the same length and in drawers. The last time I had the mini fabric bolts on the shelves actually sorted out I shelved them by length since I can see what color they are. That sort of went away though after it was in a box, out of a box, and back in a box. Now I just stick it on the shelf.

I have my Christmas fabric together, then my Halloween and Thanksgiving fabric, my children's fabrics, then my sports teams and then I sort by color. If I have very large pieces of fabric such as muslin and flannel (which I use a lot for the back of quilts) then those are kept separate from the other fabric.

Yardage is by color, scraps in separate boxes by color, with these entirely separate: flannels, Christmas, Valentine's, Halloween, Easter, 4th of July (and any other holidays I forgot), 1930's reproductions, 1800's reproductions, backings, fleece.
