Re: How do you store your fabric stash?

I have a floor to ceiling bookshelf in my sewing room and i stack folded smaller pieces of fabric by color in the shelves. In the closet I have clear totes labeled with larger pieces for quilt backs.....flannel....and heavy fabrics. Under my sewing table I have recycled a canvas (hanging unit used for purses and accessories) on it's side and put small pieces that are left over for paper pieced blocks, yo-yo's or applique. I even keep the selvage edges I cut off the quilt borders and backs and use to tie around project pieces to keep all together, some make great ribbon for gift wrapping. I have even knit a project using the long selvage pieces for yarn. So you see nothing is wasted. I even have pretty bottles on the window sill with tiny scraps of quilting jelly and the colors look nice in the window.
