this is a good idea!!!!
Very easy access and affordable can buy at $$ store, thrift store or maybe one in your linen drawer.

Cut it into 18" squares
Put them by your machine as you are piecing a block at home or in a class or away at a retreat.
Lay your pieces on the square (flannel side up) and as you sew pick up the pieces you are sewing together and as you sew it put back it back in its place so you can keep order.
Good way to prevent from loosing pieces while you are sewing or transporting it. You can stack one on top of another and roll up tie up or put a rubberband and it keeps your block in order.
I tried it and hung it up w/o pins and not a piece fell off.
Now why did I not think of this :lol: :lol: :lol:
