I haven't completed too many quilts yet, but I guess I do this as I have a few shoe boxes in my craft closet with fabric and pattern ready for me to start. I haven't pre-cut anything as I am not that organized, but I have 3 future projects with fabric and patterns in separate boxes, plus coordinating fabric I got from CT but can't decide on pattern yet. I am gonna have to get those large zip bags. That's a great idea as it would definitely give me a little more space for some more fabric!
