I just looked for it now on www.walmart.com and couldn't find it. Guess they don't sell it anymore. But I Googled "CD cabinets" and found this one. I think it would do just fine!
Back before I started quilting, I was a doll maker, and I bought this antique chest of drawers that I used for my buttons. When I rearranged my sewing room a few years ago, I removed the eight drawers and set the unit on it's side and it became a set of cubbyholes. So now I put my FQ's in there... I even set 2 of the drawers there next to it on their side to fit a few more FQ's there.
The long wooden thingy sitting on top is a very primitively made white-washed wooden box with a handle that I used to use to hold my patterns for display at craft fairs. I turned it on it's side, too and more FQ are stored there!
How do you store yours?
Two very clever ideas! I'mjust using baskets, but I have a feeling I don't have nearly as many fat quarters as you!!!
ReplyDeletePolly, what impressive organization. But I'll take the FQs themselves.
ReplyDeleteOkay, between you and CJ, I am dedicated to taking photos before and, if I change my storage arrangements, after.
This is something I have wanted to address for awhile. You have given me incentive.
Wonderful storage ideas but I have no where near the amout of FQ's that you have. I just put my in a plastic storage crate with other fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great ideas! I have mine in a plastic tote for now, but hope to display them someday soon. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery clever! Will you come help me oranize my sewing room?

What a terrific way of storing your fat quarters Polly! Thank you for sharing, I've added a link to this post on your blog, I'm hoping for more ideas to roll in!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to have to go look at cd cabinets, I LOVE this idea!
Thanks for the ideas! I just have mine in stacks, here & there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! If/when I get my sewing room I may use something like that. Right now I have them in plastic containers in an wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteGreat storage tips! Thanks for sharin, Polly!
