I use the Sterilite containers with covers and sort by color. They're stacked in one of my 4 upstairs corner closets, which are in the guest bedroom. There's no room in my sewing room at the head of the stairs. It's somewhat of a pain to take long flat bins down to reach one with the colors I need, but for now it's the most workable solution for me. In the closet I also have a clothing rod and hang some of my odd fabric; and store other types as woolens in bankers boxes. In fact, I found a baby quilt I'd worked on 30 years ago. It's all appliqued, and just needs the borders, batting, backing and tying or quilting. Now if I could just get time to get up to my room and sew, organize, or just enjoy my stash!
