I cannot believe there are NO "portable" "quilting" project storage containers on this planet. There are smaller one plastic satchels, but they only hold smaller projects. With all the quilting that goes on in this world how come no one has invented a carry along "single compartment" project tote with some depth? I am just baffled by this. Do any of you know of some? Here is one but it has stationary compartments and I want it without compartments( http://www.aceartsupplies.com/Super_...rce=googlebase )

Look in the scrapbooking department at Joann's, Michael's, etc. They have 12"-13" square plastic boxes, some with handles, that are only a couple of inches deep....perfect for 12" blocks.

are you looking for hand piecing or larger quilting projects?
For my GFG and mini hexies I use pencil holders from Staples that are only $1 each. They hold about 300 1" hexagons, a spool of thread, and a few pieces of felt with needles and a pair of cheap scissors.

I buy one just like this,same depth, but it is marketed as the spool holder....except the spool holders can come out. I think it works very well. I buy mine at Joanns, when they have 50% off, or I use a coupon. The ones I use are made by the same company...ARtBin
Try looking at Joanns.com and look for them there.
I also buy the single depth ones, and have a great old shelf that holds alot of them. Those hold manyy of my projects!
