morning ladies,
Iam actually having to take some time out this morning to try to re-organize my sewing space which is very small...Really, really small...Way too small actually. My cutting & ironing space is the top of my washing machine. Its that small.

So, my promble (among many) is attemping to store my fat quarters in a manner where I can easy reach them yet not have them take up any actual space.

So how do ya'll store your FQs?

I have one of those purse hanger things you hang from a rod or over the door that I store all my lace in....for what you want I bet the ones that hold shoes or purses would work great & everything would be in one place for you...I don't know what they are called but they are clear plastic on a double hanger with slots to put in quite a few purses......this I think would work as you could put in the fat quarters without wrinkling them & still be able to see what colors you have....Michele'

I am just learning to sew so I haven't run into that problem yet. However I did see a neat way to store them on a blog. The gal used the rectangular plastic salad containers to store her fat quarters in so she could see what colors/patterns were in what containers.

I don't really sew, but I know a lady who stores her fat quarters in those space bags and puts them under her bed.
