I keep a Word document to organize my projects. It's a simple way to keep track of things, with several sections: :
- Projects in progress
- Tops waiting to be quilted
- Projects not yet started
- Finished Projects (with numbers)
The projects are moved around the list as they get started/quilted/finished.
This is my condensed recap from 2020:

There is a separate document that has a list of projects in mind (sometimes just an idea of how to use a bundle or a large piece of fabric), and another listing fabric I'm lusting after (grouped by online store.).
Pinterest is used to track finished quilts, and there are sub-boards Charity Quilts Donated, Gift Quilts Not Yet Gifted. I also have a board called Quilting Queue, and it has several sub-sections too.. I really like having images of ideas.
Tracking how many blocks I make each month has been fun, and I take part in the 350 Blocks Project over at Prairie Moon Quilts. August was the highest month - 283 blocks pieced, with a total of 1376 for the year.
Here are a couple of Christmas quilts made and given away. Both were stashbusters.
