I am with Mary Mo mine are in piles. If you can tell me about how long ago then I know how deep to dig in the pile. Actually I CALL THEM STACKS.....hUGS

I called mine "stacks" too until they got too tall and fell over....now I have a jumble....I WISH I was an organized bag lady....:D

Personally, I like to use those plastic shoe boxes. They stack nicely and you can see what's inside.

Congrats.. you have me beat on the organization ! Wish I had a dime for every time I ask myself "where did I put that.....".

I am completing UFOs this year. Can't tell you how grateful I am when I find all the pieces to complete the top in the same box. Felt the "phew' moment because I planned ahead and put everything in the same place. Still not sure it was me, could have been some very good elves. Bags, boxes, any kind of containers are the way to go.

I used to be a bag lady, I have become a storage tote lady for my fabrics and projects. What I need is a sewing studio in a new building, with lots and lots and lots of storage!

I decided to purchase the plastic snap on lid containers for my in-progress or ufo's, one reasons why, we have 5 dogs and 4 cats (my 2 barn cats are in and out, mostly in during the winter) and bags won't keep out the hair! I look to see if they are on sale every time I go to Meijers to get groceries or even a script. Needless to say, I am getting a real stock of plastic boxes - the shirt size boxes - and almost all of them have something in them! So, I'm avoiding being a bag lady but I do want to someday be Gladys, the grumpy old lady on the greeting cards!

you are not the only one. I have a lot of UFO's that need to be caught up and I doubt if I will ever get caught up as there is always something else new to start. I must settle down and finish.

I keep my to be made projects in plastic boxes from Walmart & use index cards to slide down the front with the project name & pattern on it, then I wrapped my loose fabric's on comic boards & they stand in my walk in closet on shelves . I don't need to buy anymore fabric or patterns for a long time but that won't last either. Happy Quilting everyone.

I have a friend who stores her things in baskets and calls them her "basket cases" .
