No, you are not a fusspot, you are just putting us all to shame, that's all. I cannot clean up a thing in my sewing area until the quilt is bound and in the washer. Then I clean everything up and put everything away and start all over again.
Actually, I have a controlled mess - that does sound good, doesn't it? If I make a mistake or something, everything is there for me to correct or to make another block. If I put everything away I'll never find it again, for sure.
Have a good evening. I do admire and appreciate how you do things, and wish I could also, but I do have these brain farts once in a while and I can't find anything. So, it just stays out until I am done and then I put everything away nice and neat AND DRAG IT ALL OUT AGAIN! Now I am going to kick back and have me a glass of wine. I sewed the binding on both sides vertical on a quilt I am making, and will do the hand work tonight. I got 24 blocks all cut out and pinned so I don't lose them and have put two together. I am tired. Edie
