Also, If I have a certain quilt I have collected/bought fabrics for, it stays stacked all together! Like a kit until that one is finished.
I also store my fabric in this fashion. First by size, then by color. I don't have any batiks yet, but keep my Asian-style fabrics separate. I have shoeboxes holding fabric meant for a particular project with a picture of the that project taped to the end of the box (to help me remember!)
