I did the same thing because with the size of my stash I was afraid the boards would get too expensive. One extra thing I did: I cut a package of index cards in half, then I measured the fabric and wrote down the yardage and then folded the fabric and stapled the half index card to the front. No more guessing if there is enough yardage for a project. Index cards are a bit sturdier so they don't wrinkle when moving the fabric around.
