My quilting group did the FW as a year long project. Well, 4 years later I have about 85 blocks done and the project is aging like fine wine. On my "To Do" list,... again. I keep getting requests for a quilt, a new baby arrives or I just want a quick quilt for donation and these all become distractions from finishing FW.. I keep all my scraps and color choices all in one bin and just pick and choose from that bin depending on the block I am doing. It makes much less mess and there is less decision making.
Have fun, Retired2pa.
