I get quart size ziplocks and put all the pieces I cut out for a block in them. Each block has a bag so they don't get mixed together, than put all the block bags into a 2 1/2 gallon bag. As I get a block done it goes into the larger bag. With a slip of paper on top of it all inside the bag with a number of the completed blocks. The number is an encouragement to me. But I do all by hand so the number doesn't increase as fast as by machine. When I am done with all the blocks sew them together and finish. The theory is that I will not have any between the stages of block process and done. ha good theory I at this point have 3 in the block process. When they get done, finished they go to whomever they are made for.
