Cleaning up my quilting closet

I decided that in order to get some projects finished I would need to organize my quilting closet.  Yes I said closet - wish I had a quilting room but for now I am designated to a quilting closet - oh lets not forget all the material in my bedroom closet, and under my bed, and in the basement in bins.  But those can wait - for now lets just deal with the closet.  I spent two hours working on two shelves.  I took everything out and went through it.  It took me two hours and at that point I was exhausted so the rest of the shelves will have to wait.  I found three baby quilt tops all done just waiting for border and quilting.  Who was I making these for?  I have no idea!  One of them was totally done by hand so that bad boy is old!  I haven't done that kind of handwork in a long long time.  I think I will try and quilt it by hand and give it to my first grandchild.  None of my kids are married yet, so I should be able to get this accomplished right?  Lets hope!  I found projects and all the fabric for them with the patterns.  I also found some bags that I had made and couldn't for the life of me figure out what had happened to them.  Now I know - the dreaded closet!!!  Anyway, I just finished up two wall hangings and as soon as the binding is sewn down I will post pictures.  I also finished another wall hanging that I had to have - The Witch is In!  Totally me some days.  I will post that as well.  After going through the third shelf, I vowed not to buy any more material until I start using some that I already had.  We shall see how that goes!  What is everyone else doing out there?  How do you keep organized?
