I only do one quilt project at a time...only buy fabric for the quilt I plan on working on, and I try to keep my scraps color coded together so I know what I have if I want to do pot holders or placemats. I do buy "kits" that I know I will like, when I see them and put them away until the mood strikes me to do one. I do bags (purses) between quilt projects just to give my self some quick satisfaction. I have to start with at least a sorta tidy sewing room...i close the doors evenings if I'm done for the day and will be back at it the next day.
