Not sure if it works for quilts, but I have a cover for the plastic boxes I use to store my scraps in. They are stacked against a wall four deep by three wide and they're definitely functional rather than fashionable. A pretty throw over them has made all the difference! I imagine a curtain for shelves could be quite useful in a pinch. I think my advice has come too late, but maybe for the future?

Good progress today, all 10 blocks are quilted and trimmed. I know that I will lose some points since the orphan blocks are some of my first quilt squares. I have the extra batting and some of the sashing fabric cut. Should be able to get them finished in the morning.
Good thing that it's almost done, the overnight temps are going below 0 for a few days, and the two rooms tend to get cold.

Have three projects in various stages. Best I NOT talk about tjhe cuttng table. It was cleared off for one day. Maybe next month I can have it cleared off for 2!...(doubful. Very doubtful

I promised photos but then... well I got busy with Christmas prep. Here is the quilt I finished for a Christmas gift and the little drawstring bags that each have a different gnome inside. I have made 16 bags and oh, 20 or so gnomes and have a few more to go. Such good quick gifts. The bag pattern is from Laura of SewVeryEasy. They are easy to make and a good way to use up smaller cuts of fabric,Drawstring gift bags (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfumP5AkrLw&t=2s)
I forgot to mention the name of the block in the quilt is Blackford's Beauty. An old civil war era pattern. Wow how it changes in more modern colors.
