I put everything together in a plastic shoe box or large zip lock big, like a kit. Some are just piles of fabric for a future quilt that i haven't even decided what pattern to use. If have the pattern or know which book its in, i include it in the container. I have a big basket that i store the bags in. Then when i want to start a new quilt i just pull out a bag or shoe box and i'm ready to go. I have about 19 ready to roll and in the basket they take up very little space. When i'm actually working on a quilt, i use a plastic shoe box to keep my fabrics together and another for the cut/ stitched pieces. Right now I'm wotking on Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, so the fabrics are in a shoebox and completed units in another box. Once the quilt is done, the boxes are empty and ready for the next project.
