Wire baskets that fit in a wheeled rack (from Ikea, but other brands
exist). The racks live under the high cutting table, plus some extra
baskets on shelves in the cupboard. Easy to grab a basket to rootle
through. The fabric is folded file-style so I can see the edge of
everything.

Currently I use Rubbermaind storage bins for their waterproof qualities. I
love to be able to see all the fabric at once, like having it laid out in a
special room, but I have cats with territory issues (as in Gee, that looks
like a comfy spot to sleep, it's mine! and then they shed all over it or get
sick on it.)
HTH!

Lina, we have some highly creative places to store stash which includes the
trunk of the car, between the mattress and box springs and the piano stool
bench. Here's a Big no-no. Don't store your stash in the attic. I guess it
might be okay in one location in the entire world - but mostly, the
temperature gets high enough in an attic to do some serious damage. And a
suggestion: if you store part of your beloved fabric in a weird place, write
yourself a note. I have a bin for fleece but that lovely stuff takes up so
much space that I've had to tape a note on the bin that says, "more fleece
in guest room". Polly

I don't need a stash. I beg for quilts.

Yes, she does! She'll figure out a way to have you store your stash in a quilt
made for her. LOL I usually just lurk and have been tempted to send her a
quilt so she feels better! ;-)

I started storing my stash in a hutch but it got too be overflowing so
started sorting some my colors into 58 qt bins withs lids (Walmart $4). So
far I have 3--one for greens, blues, and purples (purple bin is nearly
full!). The bins are see thru so I can see the color group. I also use the
empty kitty litter buckets to store smaller sets of colors like Christmas
and yellow and my left over sqs in assorted sizes. Also use the buckets to
store current projects. You can tape a label to the top of the buckets and
use a trash bag to help keep clean.

Six 8-foot wire shelves (16" deep) in the closet. I took the doors off
so I have full access. Leftovers get stored in the xerox boxes that hold
up my cutting table.

At the risk of repeating my immortal poem and being booed offstage:

How Do You Store Your Fabric?
(Or: A Cautionary Tale)

On the table,
On the floor,
Over the lampshade,
Behind the door;
Piled in corners,
Stuffed in a box,
But I keep the good stuff under locks:

Back in the closet,
Stuffed on a shelf,
Are all of the goodies
I save for myself.
Fabric that is soft!
Fabric that is bold!
And, yes, you could say,
Some of it old!

Fabric in piles!
Fabris in sacks!
Fabris for miles!
Fabric in stacks!
Fabric! O glorious
Fabric of mine,
Fabric which is
An addiction devine!

(With apologies to Dr Suess, may he rest in Whoville.)

Stash.)
