I have been trying my hardest to use only fabric and scraps that I already own. Anyone who is a quilter knows how hard it is to stay away from the quilt shops and NOT buy.

Right now I have so many things that I am working on, and my brain is just about fried when I walk into my sewing room and ask myself what should I work on today? I think some of my UGH! moments are coming from the HUGE mess that I have created in my sewing room due to using what I have have and not buying more.
Here is a picture of what I am currently up against.



This is only part of the mess, I am talking about. The other half is where my quilting frame is located and because of this mess it makes it hard to get to. I have table toppers that I need to quilt, but I don’t want to cause I have to clean this mess up first.

I have dug thru this fabric so many times that it is just all over the place. So between stepping over the dog and my disorganized creativity, something has to give.

So I believe that today I will be cleaning this up and trying to find a way to make it all work. I have conatiners that I tend to put my scraps in, but then I dig through them to find what ever it is that I am looking for and after so many times of that, its just easier to have it out all over the place, as it is right now. What do you do to make this work for you? How do you keep your scraps and not so large pieces from becoming a huge mess? I would like to hear some suggestions on how I can keep up with this.
