the truth first: i reorganize about 3 times a year. within a few days it looks again as though a bomb went off.

so, for approximately two days, three times a year, my fabs are sorted into see-through plastic drawers by color, darkest on bottom. fat quarters are in a separate drawer when possible, but above or below the yardage in that color group.

holiday, baby prints and kiddie prints are separate but also grouped by color.

once i've selected a collection of fabs for a specific project they go into their own drawer, along with the pattern i plan to use.

My sewing room has plastic bins stackable bins tht pull out like drawers. I have three stacks of them floor to ceiling, probably two dozen total. A bin for each project/kit that has is ready to go--I think of them like airplanes in a landing pattern. A couple bins for misc batting scraps--black, cotton, poly. A bin for binding...I cut and iron the binding for a quilt before I send it to the LA that way I dont use the fabric by mistake. Each WIP has a bin. UFO's on the other hand are put all together in a BIG plastic tote that is pushed under a bed.

Those are all neat but in the bins with just fabric in them by color--my "stash", the material is just wadded and stuck in there.

My fabrics (cottons) are sorted by color, but batiks and novelty fabrics have their own places. I don't do much with novelty, so I have only the four stacks of it. Batiks I do even less with, so it fits into a plastic bin.

Wow... that is already organized...! Meticulous is more like it! I am striving to be even 1/4 that organized!

I do the same thing with my fabric except...
I fold as I iron my fabric after washing.
I use a piece of cardboard 11 1/2" wide x 22". This pulls out really slick, ready to do the next one.
This allows me to count folds so I know how much I have.
I stack mine lengthwise on 5-shelf bookcases from Walmart.

OMG mine is a complete mess next to yours. Great job.

WOW! You have a great supply of fabric!! I think it looks very organized and beautiful! :thumbup:

Beautiful Organization!! I really love the big basket in the first photo!!! :thumbup:

Organized? Can someone come show me what it looks like?

Organised? What's that???? :-)
