As previously promised, here are some insights on tracking your Works in Progress, courtesy of me and my pARTner, Sarah. This is from our In Tandem Art conversation last week (which ended up being a phone call since thunder boomers kept knocking out my power and my wifi that day. ugh).
Sarah and I have come to realize over the last few months that when it comes to works in progress, we have very different situations! Sarah tends to have dozens of projects at a time at various stages of completion, while I am more of the "see it through to the finish" kind of gal. I typically only have a small handful of projects in the works. Nonetheless, most of the solutions we came up with for tracking these projects work for both of us, and would work for anyone anywhere on the WIP spectrum (is that even a thing? it is now).
Some methods that we currently use, or have used in the past include:
A chalkboard on the sewing room wall (I confess this is mine. I need that list IN MY FACE at all times!) Please note that in my world at lease, the chalkboard must be whimsical and cute. I guess a white board would be equally effective.
Do you have other ways to track your WIPs? Please share them in the comments so we can all learn more.

I use the OneNote app on my phone... just a simple list that I refer to now and then.
I don't have very many WIPs at a time. All of my WIPs have a box (plastic with a lid). Inside the box is the pattern, cut fabric, leftover fabric, and progress to date. These are stacked in my sewing room. I am usually a see it through person but sometimes it's easy to take "construction of blocks" to a sew day than "needing a design wall" project. So while I am a see it through gal, I do have several projects in different phases of completion. Yesterday I put the binding on two quilts so now I have two empty containers!
Thank you for sharing this information. So helpful.
