How to best organize my UFO fabrics
#1
I have worked on an applique quilt for about a year, so I have all the fabrics I have used in one big box so they are together when I work on it again. My dilemma is that I forget about those fabric when I work on something else.
I am going through all my fabric and sorting into colors and putting all the small pieces on those boards so I can see them at a glance. I have boxes sorted by colors.
Question is! Should I put these fabrics from the UFO back in the main fabrics or just keep them all boxed up? There are some yardage there that won't ever be used up on this one quilt. What would you do?

I would keep them separate until the applique quilt is finished. If you don't, sure thing that you will need that certain color when you go to finish the quilt and that will be the one color you don't have. Been there done that.

I would probably keep them with the project. You may run out of one and not be able to find it. If you've lots more than you think you'll need, you could just cut what you'll need and keep with the project and put the rest in with your stash fabrics.
