I especially like the first fat quarter fold. I used to work at a fabric and craft store and we would do this to roll up our remnants (which were up to one yard). This is best for fabrics that are WOF. Leave your fabric folded, selvedge edges together. Measure your fabric and make a note on your wrapper. Fold your fabric to make a strip about 10 – 12″ wide by the WOF. Fold the selvedge edge in toward the folded edge. This will make sure there are no raw edges. You can then fold the folded edge in and roll up your fabric. We would tuck the wrapper in the fabric as we rolled to make sure it didn’t slip off, but these may be a bit short for that. Hopefully your fabric won’t get as much abuse as it would in a store… cats and kids and puppies, I’m looking at you… (My cat was using one of my upholstery remnants as a toy. Good exercise for her back legs, lol.)

The Swiffer containers that are 3″ x 5″ by abt 12″ are great for holding fat quarters. You can use a 3 x 5 index card to fold them, and the lids are clear so you can see what is inside.
