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 all the fabric together for your applique quilt until you finish. I have seen too many people looking for a couple of inches of fabric because they misplaced it, cut wrong etc. I love using the plastic zipped bags for comforters, blankets to keep things together and the bags are see through.
