The way I store fat quarters, too, except in shoe boxes, and without the lid, since they are in a bookcase with doors....without using a lid, I can put strays on top of those in the box.

I think JoAnn's also has these or ones that are similar. I know they have the ArtBin ones. They usually have a storage sale at 40-60% fairly frequently.

I have been storing mine like this for a few years now but WalMart had some with hinged lids on clearance and they were wide enough for 3 rows of FQ. I love it this way.

Default fat quarter display

I bought racks at a yard sale that are for DVD and the fat quarters look awesome on them. My DH buys fat quarters any time he can and loves to display them!

Perhaps they are called something other than "ribbon boxes"?

I use the under-the-bed tubs for fat quarter storage. There are a bit heavy, but, they sure hold a lot.
