What luck! I'm about to start a major clean up of my quilting room and your DH (and he is definitely "dear") has provided me with a plan. If my regular handy man can make the time I intend to have him make one for me. Right now I can hardly get into the room for all the stuff including a lot of stuff not even related to quilting. I've just started a weight loss and exercise regimen so it should be an all around improvement effort.

WOW! That is a wonderful place to store fabric. Can your husband come live with us for awhile??!!! I was trying to organize my fabric the other day and I think my stash just grows as I sleep!!!! I need something to organize my bad habit.

What a timely post this is for me!! I spent all day yesterday on various websites searching for a book case with dimensions that would hold my totes to no avail. This is absolutely the ticket!! I hope you won't mind me pinning the picture so I can share it with my wood working Uncle. This holds 18 totes and that is EXACTLY how many I have and need for all my fabrics which I sort by color!

Oh, my goodness, that is so cool!

all he did as measure the totes and then ran it through his table swaw with the blade that makes the marks. Sorry I can't tell you what it is called. LOL and the totes I got at WAL-Mart and they are the Stackable totes by Sterilite. They have no lids. He put some 1/4 plywood in the back. I love it.

Yipeeeeeeee, this looks great!

Looks great but is it going to hold all that weight from the fabric without breaking the edges of the containers? I think I would probably have something under each one to help hold it in the tracks. My sterlite has cracked on the edges, that is why I ask. When wood bows, from fabric setting on it in small rows, it has to break somewhere.

Great idea!
