I do love the idea of the paper plates as a way to separate the pieces you are working on, but I usually use the 1 gallon bags, a paper clip and a postit note to tell me what the parts are. I do some paper piecing and most of it is Judy Niemeyer. She is the champion of using different bags for different parts of a project.
Exactly! I posted above mistakenly-1 gal, wwhen I meant 2 gal size. If you have a "everything's a Dollar store in your area, a box costs a dollar. Everything costs a dollar as the name says...from food items to ---well, you name it!
