I have ADD and now TBI so I have to be organized. I misplace everything lately. Once a year I will go through my scrap container (anything smaller than a F8 goes in there) and will cut them down to squares. I will also go through it and see what I really want to save. It makes it so much easier to find fabrics to match all your F8's and gives me more playing time!!
Gram E - yes I do have to be careful on how much I have. No books or excess patterns. I print out patterns and put them in a 15 x 15 Ziploc bag along with the fabric I visualize for it. There are way too many great patterns out there and no way to save them and then find them again! I have been collecting red and white fabrics to make a quilt and now can't recall which pattern I wanted to use!!
