I use a method similar to this
http://turningturning.com/tutorial-folding-fabric/ for folding my fabrics. I took this box:

and turned it into this:

and trimmed the weird leftovers into strips & squares:

(these are now stored in clear plastic shoe boxes, instead of my filing cabinet)
And here's my studio (one floor layout ago, but the shelves are still basically the same)

It works well for me, because the fabric is folded to just the right size for my shelves, and I can see what I have in my stash. The folding method doesn't work as well on pieces larger than 4 yds, but I still make it work!
