I think you need a bit more space around you to allow the creativity to flow (or at least not make the slog harder than it has to be). Besides, I live in NYC, and those tiny closets are dedicated to my SHOES, man - the desk can sit somewhere else!

Do all the laying out and cutting (which even for the most complex pieced quilts takes at most two-three hours) and then mark it up an keep it in storage baskets as you sew.

Maybe if it was one of those longer closets with the double sliding doors...

I suppose it would work if you were sewing together smaller pieces of fabric. Too sweatshop-esque for me. I’m not sure how I feel about that sewing station.

I especially like the overhead lighting in Adam's workshop. Wow - talk about an efficient use of space! I especially like the overhead lighting in Adam’s workshop.
