Storing Fat Quarters
#24
I think this is the same box as the inside dimensions are the same. http://www.shopirisusa.com/ribbon-keeper-rb-1
They are a bit pricey but work well for me.

I was asked how I store FQs and this is my solution

I purchased "ribbon boxes" from Michaels. I think they were in the scrapbooking area for storing decorative ribbons on a roll. They come with a divider, which I toss. I fold all my FQs into approx. a 18" square, then in quarters both ways. These boxes are 14 1/2" long, 4 1/2" wide and 5" tall. The FQs fit perfectly and I can get 40-45/box. As you can tell, I organize by color LOL

I looked for an identifying mark on the boxes, and on the lid there is a logo with IRIS inside a heart.

This is such a timely thread! My friend invited me over to her house last week to select FQ's. She had recently got a donation and had already whittled down the collection. I came home with lots and lots of them, and now I need to store them.

I use the project bags from Nancy's Notions. I can put a lot of FQ's in them in three rows wide. The front is see-through so you can see what's in the bag at a glance. I've filled four of them and I love them!! Always looking for something to add a special touch to my projects. :-)
