I think this is the way to go. I have plastic bins (only about 4 because my stash is still small) and I have to take it all out to find and select a fabric I want, even if they are organized by color. With your folded fabric you can see it all and it won't be hard to hold up a fabric you are trying to coordinate with to a stack to see if there is a fabric in there you want to pull out.
BTW, I see many beautiful fabrics in your stash and would love to shop your stash. Also you have a fabulous sewing room with plenty of natural light. You'll feel great once it's all organized so get going! Well all cheer you on and show us pictures of your progress.

Here is a tutorial to help you,
