I think storing your fat quarters the way you use them is a thought to consider. If you use the novelty prints just in their own quilts, store them that way. You won't have to search through all your colors to fine the baby prints or the holiday prints or whatever you have on hand. I am not a FQ person but that is how I store my yardage. First by color and then the special cuts: Christmas, baby, Americana and neutrals. Works for me but try one way that you think will work for you. Doesn't work? Then rearrange.
