I am new to applique and have been taking blocks along to work on. I purchased a small metal lunch box to keep all my supplies in - a block fits nicely on top of the supplies. The box is getting full as I add new "must haves" and I may have to upsize to a larger lunch box. I am currently working on a balloon bouquet block - 23 circles - 1" - on each block and then the strings to hold the balloon bouquet with - not sure how many I will make - the directions were only for the block not a whole quilt. This satisfies my applique and embroidery tastes. I also save up binding projects to take for handwork. It is almost always a chance for show and tell with strangers too.
