I had a stack of fat quarters waiting to be folded for storage.  Normally when you buy them at the quilt shops, they’re already perfectly folded, but these were not.  I like mine all the same size (I keep my leftovers, if a 1/2 yard is left, with my purchased fat quarters) so storing them is easier.

This is how I fold mine.

First I fold the fabric in half lengthwise, selvages together.

Unfold, and fold each edge so that they meet in the middle, along your crease line.

Press along the folds, then fold in half lengthwise and press.

Now fold this in half, short ends together.

Unfold and then fold each short end so that they meet in the center. 

Fold in half, and press.  Presto!  Perfect fat quarters.  A bit time consuming, but I like them like this.  Now, what I’d like is a gazillion suggestions on storing them.  Pictures would be even better!  If you have a great way of storing your fat quarters and want to email me a photo, I will happily post your images to this entry for everyone to get ideas from.
