Managing Your Quilt Works in Progress: My Tips for Staying Organised

Hi there, if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got multiple quilt projects on the go at any given time. While it’s exciting to bounce between designs, techniques, and ideas, it can also get a bit overwhelming. That’s why I created the Craftapalooza Quilt WIP Trackers—to help you stay organised, focused, and most importantly, enjoy your quilting journey.

Why I Swear by Quilt WIP Trackers

Let me share a little secret: staying organised has completely transformed how I approach my quilting projects. Here’s why these trackers are game-changers:

Clarity and Focus - Seeing all my projects laid out in one place gives me a sense of control. I can quickly decide which quilt to work on next, and it’s so satisfying to know exactly where I’m up to.

Streamlined Workflow - The trackers are perfect for breaking each project into manageable steps. From selecting fabrics to quilting and binding, I always know what’s next and am prepared.

Motivation Booster - I love crossing tasks off the list! It’s a little burst of joy every time I complete a block or prep the binding. Plus, seeing my progress visually keeps me inspired to keep going.

Creativity on Tap - By keeping detailed notes, I free up my brain for the fun stuff—like experimenting with colour and pattern. No more worrying about forgetting what size to cut or which thread I was using!

Flexible for Any Project - Whether I’m working on a quick baby quilt or a complex design with dozens of pieces, these trackers keep me on track. They’re adaptable for how I work and help me tackle both small tasks and big milestones.

Individual Project Tracker: This breaks down each step of the quilting process, from cutting fabric to attaching labels.
