I have a very tidy room but I had never ruler folded my fabric. There are a few threads I just saw recently on ruler folding. I just grabbed my favorite ruler and tried it. It works beautifully. It allows me to use alot less space to store the fabric and allows me to scan what I have.
I also have separate boxes for each of my WIP.
I was looking at the functionality of your storage. I think it isn't working because it is open on all sides. It makes it awkward to store your fabric. I would recommend getting or making bookcases with a closed back and sides. I also got a new storage container for my threads. It is closed and stores threads on two sides (I use one side for the machine piecing/quilting threads and the other side for the hand quilting (for stitching bindings).

Good work on a big challenge. I agree with the concept of fluctuating between total organization and complete chaos. Say, those thread holders suggested are great, but I have so many old fashioned fat spools, and that looks like it only holds the skinny Gutterman or Sulky or such.

Wow, I love your pictures! Your room looks like a quilter lives there. I'm subscribed to this thread and I can't wait to see the end result when you're finished. Keep on keeping on girl! Your 15 mins a day plan is fabulous!!
