pmomquilter...I have had mine sorted like you are doing for quite some time--especially the small pieces. I am now in a cutting mood. I'm working on a Burgoyne surrounded quilt along that's here on the QB. It was so nice to go to my "red" bin and start cutting fabric for the quilt. Once you have it organized you will enjoy it. The biggest thing is it is an ongoing process as you use and add fabric. Some times I have too many projects going on...imagine that. Keep up the good work!

I think I'll do a before and after photo today, spur me on, no cheating and having a little lie down
Anyone want to do the same?
The walls and shelving won't change but the flat survaces need some real attention before Bonnie Hunters mystery starts.

You can do this! One flat surface area at a time. Take a picture every 15 minutes. I do that when I really need motivation to stay on task. Move fast. Don't overthink. When you find yourself just moving stuff without a place, take a break. It'll happen. Just 15 minutes at a time to victory!

took me four hours to get the cutting surface satisfactory. I had a box of scraps to cut down took some of the time, I'm always happy to see my own precuts in their boxes, like having a full pantry.
As I run across red or black scraps I cut them into 1.5", they will eventually become a word quilt of some kind. Had enough to separate them into to their own color boxes, that was exciting. Obviously I am excited easily. I guess quilters would understand.
I am a firm believer that clutter can't be organized, so as I've run across clutter in that category, I've put it in a basket and will eventually offer it here in exchange for scraps.
Today, the sewing table!
