Several months ago I was on a quilt run and overextened myself. Don't we all. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the fabric I bought. There is enough for at least a couple of queen size quilts. Just in case it takes me several more months (years) to do something with it, how do I store. Right now I have it in the same store bags that I bought it from, but thinking this must not be good for the fabric. Any suggestions?

Depends on your set up. If you have a closet or book shelf that is always good. Folded or placed on fabric boards depending on size is good. I keep mine in photo storage boxes based on size and type. And store the boxes in a China Hutch in my dining room where I sew. Just remember out of site out of mind.

I store fabric in rubbermaid containers. If you store in cardboard, I highly recommend lining it with an old sheet. Sometimes the coloring from the cardboard will leach onto fabric and it does not come out.

I use the plastic rolling cabnets/w/drawers. they are trasparent. I put tape labels on each drawer with the 'color' in that drawer.:)

I use various methods, but no matter the method, I do try to keep the fabrics out of direct sunlight.
