A Little Bit of Everything!: fabric

Ok, for all you organizers out there, I need some help!

I have LOTS of fabric and I'm not sure what to do with it all.

I have 2 of these 3 shelved bins stuffed full of fabric. I also have lots of fabric that is just sitting around waiting for a spot somewhere.

Anyone have some suggestions to help me organize a bit better. Should I just buy another one of these bins or does someone have a clever way to store fabric?

Any suggestions would be great and I'm a visual person, so links to a picture of how you store your fabric would be great!

Just by glancing around on other blogs I've found these:

I'm sure there are dozens more, but I'm done for the night.

Halloween Fabric Rag Wreath

I made my first wreath and I think it turned out pretty cute. I'll include a brief tutorial but it is easy to make. Just a little time consuming.

You can use as many fabric choices as you want, I used 4 that I already had. I chose not to use the black minky fabric that is pictured. It makes a big mess when cutting it so I left it out.

Cut some fabric into about 1" strips. I didn't measure, just kind of eyeballed it. You can either run your scissors down the fabric or rip the strips. They do not need to be even and the frayed look is what we're going after. I then cut these strips in half.

I just used a clothes hanger that I bent into a somewhat circle. I had a wreath that I bought, but it was too thick and I would have needed to cut more fabric.
