Yup, that's the way mine looks too during and after a quilt project, I eventually get around to vacuuming the space to see through the clutter to start another project and keep the debris in the room rather than throughout the house. My intention down the road is to replace the carpet with wood floors so its easier to pick up.

With a cat that likes to try to commit suicide on threads and an infant that likes to taste everything, nary a scrap hits my floor! I put a grocery bag over the post of my chair and throw as I sew! Can't wait to have a dedicated room for sewing with a door that closes (and locks)...cuz who know's what it will look like then!!!
