I have a lot of my fabric stored in barrister bookcases. There are four doors and they are glass. They raise up and slide in. Why? I want to see my fabric. It is washed, pressed, folded the same size and it is beautiful.

I have a lot of fabric stored in three drawer plastic containers also along with the barrister bookcases and totes under the bed and in one of my closets. I try to run when someone says "look at this fabric".

I got the bright idea to store mine on boards, standing up, like at fabric stores. My room is probably 16 x20 with shelves ceiling to floor. With my stash stored that way, I have created a monster. I have run out of room! But it sure is easy to see what you have. (Nothing that is just right for what I am working on right now!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Then I can see what I am looking for and can easily pull the fabric, reroll and reput on the shelf like a book. I lOVE THEM!!!!

When the quilt is finished, I roll it and put it inside a tyvec bag.
