I have a multitude of projects, like any good quilter has. I was looking for something in my quilt room closet and thought differently about this:

Good for you! I like organization, but you are right...sometimes you can forget what you have organized. It becomes part of the background.
What sweet pins! Have fun reorganizing your shelves....the problem I have with boxes is I forget what is in them. If I can see the projects I am more likely to work on them......maybe!
