Maggie8801, I'm gradually working on reorganizing my space too! I don't know that I have a gazillion FQ's (but maybe I do, and just haven't seen them yet! )
However, I think a good pattern to use up some of the FQ's is Bonnie Hunter's "Pineapple Blossom"

I love this pattern - EVERYTHING looks good in it, and it's not hard at all. Works up really fast too!
Once I get the three customer quilts out of the way, I should be able to get a little more organizing done. Your comment about the storage containers sort of got me wondering though... I've been buying the "shoebox" clear plastic containers ($1) from Dollar General, and I'm finding that being able to SEE what I have is a great incentive for me to (1) not buy any more fabric, because - DUH - it's all right there in front of my face and (2) I can see my UFO's more easily and am more motivated to get them out of the way.

My last order came in yesterday from Craftsy - two kits that were 60% off (or more). Since I ordered them in 2016, that doesn't count as me falling off the wagon, right?!?
