I like all the ideas for using the empty kleenex boxes.
As far as binding goes, I use an empty toilet paper roll. I saw this little thing on a website where you roll the binding around and put it around your neck. When I press my binding, I tape one end to the empty toilet paper tube and keep
winding it and secure with a straight pin. When I am ready to put the binding on, I put a string/ribbon through the tube and place it around my neck. It comes off the roll perfectly. The only thing to remember is when you make your string to go around your neck to make it long enough to get it off or you are attached to your quilt until finished. Had this happen to me the first time I did it.
