    I put everything that is one yard or larger on comic book boards. Anything too large to wrap around that is folded and stored in a dresser. For anything that is between 1/2 yard to a yard in size is wrapped around comic book boards that are cut in half. My fat quarters are folded the way several websites recommend and are stored in a 25 slot wooden shoe organizer. Finally, anything smaller than a fat quarter is placed in bins that are the same color as the scraps.

    For my scraps I sort by color, then size. I do use Bonnie Hunter's method and it's been very good for me. WHEN I cut, I cut the largest piece possible out of the scraps. Fat Qtrs etc get folded and stacked. Same with the larger pieces and yardage and cut strips of that color go in a clear bin. I keep the 2.5". 3.5", AND 5" squares in drawers by size in some sort of color order. This way I can see at a glance what I have in each color. I'm culling the herd this year. I want to be able to buy some newer stuff.

    Never thought about using something to separate the rows. Makes good sense and easy to keep them straight. AND keep the colors in order too.
