Roselady, about your latest question.... I'm lucky enough to have a cutting table set up at all times. It is up against the wall under my workboard. When I have multiple projects in progress, I separate them either on the board or in stacks off the cutting mat. I use notes to remind me if that fabric is color #1 or whatever and I put the pattern instructions on top. I never have so many projects going that I put any away, out of sight. When the pieces are cut, I use square cardboards to lay them out ready to assemble. I can put those anywhere, like an open drawer. By then, I don't need any notes ... it's obvious what to sew to what. I just pick up cardboard and bring it over to my machine table and begin. I keep putting it back onto the cardboard until I stop working on it for the day. If I want to stop that block and go onto another project, it's so easy to move because it's lightweight (and free and clean).
