Temperature Quilt 2018 - getting organized

I don't know about you, but if I'm going to keep a daily project going for an entire year along with all of my other projects, I need to get organized! Here's a rundown of what I'm doing to keep track of everything.

I purchased my fabrics yesterday. I'm using Moda Bella solids in 26 colors. I've decided to make three quilts instead of just one! I want to see some very different quilts, so I'm making one for me - I live in Texas - as well as one for each of my sisters. One lives in Missouri and the other lives in Wisconsin. Because of this big geographic difference, I need a really wide temperature range. I've chosen to do 5 degree increments from -15 to 105 degrees, plus one color for everything over 105 and another for anything below -15. Here's my color chart.

Next, I need somewhere to keep pre-cut pieces to make my flying geese. I used some cardstock to create little folders for each color. Inside, I can keep the triangles used to make the flying geese. I am using Bonnie Hunter's Essential Triangle Tool to cut the two sizes of triangles from 3 inch strips. With my folders, I can cut up a strip or two up all at once instead of keeping track of partially used strips. Here is my basket of folders.

And here is a look at the contents of one folder. I'm hoping to keep well stocked on mainly one season's worth of triangles at a time. No need to fill up all 26 folders, when I hope to not need all of those bright reds for several months!
