I have my fabrics in those closet hanging shoe and sweater organizers, the shoe size hold my FQ's and the sweater size holds the larger pieces. They are sorted by color. The scraps are in stackable clear storage boxes. It is easy to go to the closet and see what I have when choosing for a quilt. When I applique, I take the stack of scrap boxes out and keep them next to me or at the back of my large table when selecting for appliques. I Have whole (or partial) bolts on a shelf,and batting on the top of the shelf. All in all, I think I am pretty organized. If I need to get a fabric at the store, I take 2" pieces, stapled to a sheet with the needed items to get with me. I also have a couple of large Stanley tool chests with removable trays to hold my "bits & pieces". I always look at photos of other's great studios and say "someday---"
