I purchase several CD wall units, they are just the right size for fat qrts or small pieces of yardage..Hung them on wall in front of my machine, it is handy and the colors of the qrts are very pretty.

I have fun opening every FQ and pressing flat! (also inspecting for true cut, real size and booboos) Got a much better impression of what I had. Sorting by color also helps me plan how to use each one. I gently fold over the color batch and alternate in the stack - put into a bin with a lid. Have had to reroute several to smaller pieces bin due to the fading on the exposed fold. :( I also refold large pieces frequently - I hate having to wash or steam to remove hard folds. :) Obviously, I like using FQ's!

Here's another fun idea: Apothecary Cabinet storage for FQs

I bought a stack of letter/legal sized paper trays. You can put two or three stacks of about five folded fat quarters on each tray. That way you have a tower with about 15 FQs per tray. If you have three or six trays stacked on top of each other, it doesn't matter which bunch you pull out, you can pull five or so from any level without disturbing the others.

peacefulquilting I love love the cubies. Isn't that one of the cubies for shoes? I am just going to have to get me one of them. Thank you.

I just finished my organization yesterday for anything I have less than a yard! I found great bins at Target and organized mostly by color and a few speciality bins (i.e. kids, food, Americana, Batik, etc). My mom and I make many charity quilts and people from our guild give us leftovers so we can use them up! This leads to needing a great organization system for small yardage so we don't lose our sanity! lol

HLenore......that is perfect:o

Cubes from Walmart have worked for me. Husband bought them for something else and then didn't need them so they are mine now.[ATTACH=CONFIG]410794[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]410795[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]410796[/ATTACH]

These are what I use, also, and they work great.
