Ok, Picture time! I have just recently cut my stash in half, but this is what I have left. Anything that is more than 2 yards gets hung in the closet. I use drape hooks with the clips on drip dry (wire), anything that is over 2 yards goes on a bolt and on the shelves, fat quarters and under a yard get the pull out wire drawers and everything else gets put on the shelf or where ever I think it fits at the time I have it in my hands. I purchased the shelves with the wire baskets at Ikea, they are 14 inches deep by 36 inches wide and go almost floor to ceiling with about 2 inches to spare. Enjoy the pictures!

Mine ... folded and stored in plastic tubs, the same height. One of my soon-to-be tasks is to sort it out in colour groupings and/or special groupings.

Thought; to-nite pull blues, next week pull reds, continue and put back in tubs as you empty them. Ready for shelves when you want. Now I had better take my own advise.

To make it easier to pull a piece out of piles without making a mess, leave 2 inches at top of pile. To pull a piece out, slide in ruler (width of fabric pile) above piece want and lift up. take your piece out, let down and slide ruler out. Still neat. If pile is to tight or heavy, need to find more space,to avoid messing it up. If pile to tall, insert another shelf. Put about 8-10 inches for flat piles
