Your organization makes sense to me...

Now that is a stash!!!!! I sort mine by color too, with some special boxes like 30's, civil war, thimbeberries, black/white, paisley, plaids/stripes (from shirts) - and then there are the stacks that don't have a home yet. I use plastic shoebox size boxes and when the lids don't fit anymore then it is time to raid the box for a quilt. I also store by size - 1.5, 2, 2.5 squares and now 2.5 strips. I don't purchase fabric unless it is for a specific project and since I do a lot of scrappy quilts, it is usually for borders/bindings/backs. All my stuff in boxes is pretty small - FQ or smaller - I really don't have yardage. I am green with envy!!!

Love it and what a stash you have, and I thought I had a lot. Great you have so much space too. Don't forget to show us some quilts.

Thanks for sharing - it's always good to see what others do - we can glean any ideas that will work for us! My room is always a work in progress. I'm now working on cutting 1 1/2, 1 1/2 and 2 7/8 inch strips and putting them in boxes. That certainly came in handy this week when I needed one more strip to finish the blocks for a quilt. I can either have a clean room or sew - can't have both!!

Very nice room AND stash. My fabrics are still in totes,most sorted, measured and marked but no shelves to put them on yet. Thanks for sharing your awesome space.

When you posted you got your shelves from a fabric shop that closed - did those shelves have the fabric still on them? Because you seem to have enough fabric for a store.LOL
