Its still in the works for now as I figure out the best layout for the excel spreadsheet. I am breaking down the who what and where along with what I need. For example I have down the pattern name and the fabric line if I know it, who it is for, I also spots for backing, batting and how many blocks down out of how many needed. I mark if I have the backing and sometimes where it is stored. I am thinking of adding a spot for storage of the actual project so I can find it. Also a section for notes like needle placement if I have been sewing with a scant seam. So many times I pull an old project out to work on it and think didn't I have a backing but I can't find it.

My goal is to put each project in a project box with all things needed along with a printed copy of that line from the excel sheet. Yep being a bit OCD but I usually spend several hours to several days when I pull out an old project and I can't remember exactly what I was doing with it. I had one I could not even remember who it was for! What thread I was using when quilting and so on its easy to become discouraged about an old project and I am trying to help that for me anyway.

I also created a second sheet on the same workbook listing projects I want to do. The pattern and the name of the fabric I wanted to use. Also did I buy that fabric. I keep forgetting what I bought some fabric for or what I planned to do with it lol. Just trying to be productive.
