I have used like containers, all different sizes, for years. Any one that has a baby & buys the baby food in the rectangle clear plastic containers with lids needs to save & use them also. I grab on to them whenever I can for snaps, buttons, basting pins etc. Just all kinds of use for them. They travel well too. I rarely toss any clear plastic container away. The bigger containers I put all fabric & pattern for each quilt I plan to make. Keeps everything all together & easy to find.
