Regarding "Leaders/Enders": it really does get you a second project without really having to focus on it. To make it easier though, it is important to pick your scrap project out in advance if possible and to set your pieces up in a container in advance that can sit near your sewing machine so you can just pull the bits to be sewn and go with little effort (Pat Sloan sits small stacks of her bits on the top of her sewing machine!). Regarding leftover blocks: that's what scrappy pieced backs, quilt labels and tote bag projects are for, LOL!

I love your Falling Leaves quilt. ...Hello Connie! I love your Falling Leaves quilt. It's beautiful and you did use up a lot of scraps. I think you have a great start on your next scrap quilt, too! Looking forward to seeing it finished in the future. A lot of my scraps get turned into hexagons for EPP. I like to pre-make the hexagons and keep them organized by color in cross-stitch floss boxes.

I get tired too of the pieces laying around and you are so right about not having the right color thread.

I keep little plastic baskets from the dollar store by my machine for my to-be-pieced units and pieced units. That keeps things organized enough for me. I press a whole lot at once, and I frequently press my leaders and enders when I'm on the phone with one of my parents. They don't do video calls and the pressing is mindless so I can do it while talking with them. I also typically pick leader and ender projects that don't have a deadline so that the fact that it takes forever doesn't matter.
