LOL
Love your humor and way of thinking.

Let me get this straight. Your fabric is not supposed to be dumped in a tub and shoved under the bed with the dust bunnies? You shouldn't have to dig through a pile that looks like refuse from a tornado to find what you need? Interesting concept. I should get on board with this one.

Love having mine on the boards. I just sorted into colors and placed each color in a storage box. I have them stacked on the floor and can just look in the sides to see what I need. I have about 25-30 of these and so it made more sense for me to do it that way. The boards are wonderful. If you need a lot go on line and order 1000, even with shipping you save over the local shops.

I thought about ordering them online, but I don't have the money right
now to do that.
But I THINK a 1,000 boards MIGHT get me close to hold all my fabric
not sure though. However I DO cut them in half also for my smaller
cuts of fabric.

I dream of being that organized! I think you are a genium for idea of bundling the pieces you want to use together.
I get myself into trouble by repurposing something I bought with a "set" and then not having what I need when it comes time to use the set. Love your labeling system.

Thanks

Amazon.com is where I found mine.

Me too! I love the comic board idea but I'm just too lazy at the moment to go through all my fabric. Maybe next year!:shock: my fabric is folded nice and sorted into colors until I pull a bunch of it out to audition.

I do well to get the fabric on the boards and shelved in some sort of color organization! I can't imagine indicating the yardage of each piece.
