Love the pizza box storage idea, but for me the ufo's are in a jelly cupboard in the guest bedroom. It is full, and that means I have to stop stashing. I put all the fabric for a project in zip bags up to opaque garbage bags (over buying). Mark on the outside the quilt pattern, what I have, what I need. I have to start putting dates on them. Found a put together ready for baby quilt that I wanted to do 10 years ago, duh!!! That was before I did the bag storage, it was in a hope chest under lots of stuff. I have to stop stuffing -.

my ufo's tend to be pieced blocks not made into a top yet- or a top not yet quilted & bound- the first---blocks are in a pizza box or ziplock- the tops are under the quilting machine waiting for me to get to them.
i never cut a whole quilt out at once-unless i am going to work on it to completion...if i want to make it someday i may put the fabric & pattern together so i don't use the fabrics for something else- then later i can pull it out---look at it & decide if i really want to make that quilt or if i want to use the fabrics for something else- if they were all cut out i would be 'stuck'
