Thanks for your interesting thoughts as presented in your quilting manifesto. Everyone is different, but I, too, can't work in chaos, even organized chaos. My quilting room is organized so I can find things, projects are kitted and labeled and stored in the closet, but it is my scraps (leftovers from quilts already made) that drive me crazy. One of these days I need to organize them by color as I tend to love applique and could use the smaller ones for that. Like the original poster said, "use what works for you.............if it continues to work" If not, she offers some suggestions that work for her. Thank you for starting this thread. It is interesting to see how each of us approaches our hobbies differently.
