I am just now refolding my fabrics and organizing them. I roll them around my 6 inch ruler. On the small lengths I start with selvage to selvage fold then fold again and wrap. It makes a short bundle. On the longer lengths I just wrap it around the ruler as it came off bolt. This makes for a longer bundle. Does this make any sense? Then the short ones stand on the back of my shelves and the longer ones lay in front of them on the shelves. That way I can see each piece of fabric I have without messing them all up. Works for me.

izaquilter - that is a beautiful stash!

DonnaB, Awesome looking stacks of fabric. Gosh, Now I want to refold all mine too!

I just bought the polar notion plastic panels. You can roll up to 10 yards of Fabric on each one and can easily the different fabrics on them by the way you roll them. I just love them. They fit standing up on a shelf and take minimal room compared to what I was doing before. 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!!!!

I love how you have put your door to good use too! Smart Idea! currently, my rulers are in a drawer beneath my cutting table with the longer rulers on the shelf. I do like your ideas.

That was my DH idea, it's so handy now. My cutting table is real close to the door too.

I have learned over the years that if you store cotton in plastic it cannot breathe and the fibers will rot overtime. When I finish a quilt and give it to someone or sell it I am now making a pillow case out of the same backing or something I have of cotton so they can store it in this instead of a plastic bag or bin.

Wonder what would happen if you "hung" the fabric on coat hangers. Using a clothes pin and taking each end of the fabric and clipping it onto the hanger. Or maybe "rolling" the fabric? That may help with not getting creases? And what is the difference between Starch and Sizing?

Where did you get the polor notion plastic panels? And what do they look like? They sound like something good to use. :)

I do that also. I was told to do that to prevent your quilt from picking up odors in your house.
