I may have to rethink this and tweek it, but it is starting to work better. I am always amazed I can keep my lab space pristine and organized (down to labeling the cabinet and shelf something is located on) but my desk and house is a disaster. My mother-in-law swears by ziplocks and I've seen her cut, store and organize multiple quilts at a time. I figure she's been at it over 80 years so I should learn from the pro.

I hope this helps.
LOL, I USE ziploks all the time--somehow I can even manage to loose them. Methinks I need to organize a little more.
