Some great ideas here! I have limited space at the moment so I'm not as 'sorted' as I'd like to be. We're in the process of converting the attic so in a few weeks I'll have a new sewing room then I can really get organised! At the moment, I have FQs and bigger sorted by colour or print style (eg fabrics with metallics in them) or project intention, eg all fabrics for OBWs together, all batiks together etc. Then smaller than an FQ but still a large scrap in a plastic box, another box of 1 1/2" wide strips which I like to work with and small scraps - ie anything which will give a seam allowance and leave a bit showing, is sorted into 3 boxes of light, medium and dark. I have another box for charm square size and a box of offcuts of bindings and skinny borders. :-D
