Welcome to the board from North Texas, 60 miles north of Dallas and 30 miles south of Durant, Oklahoma. All the advice you received is good. When you get those wrinkles out, and your blocks are really dry, store them in a Ziplock or other similar storage bag. You may need the gallon size or even the jumbo size. Be sure the blocks are flat and leave them flat on a shelf, preferably under a heavy book. Add new blocks as you get them finished and when you get ready to put them together, they will be ready. froggyintexas

If I store a set of blcoks, I have bought those neat storage containers and they are perfect for storing blcoks. I know some quilters buy new unused pizza boxes from their local restaurant to store the blocks in.

I've been using the plastic zipper bag that sheets and blankets and curtains come in.

please recheck the measurement of your blocks after their spa treatment. You'll probably find they've changed.

I use Best Press to get out stubborn wrinkles, but it is expensive, so try the cheaper methods first! You can get it at Joann's.
