l hope you sew up a test block from scraps before completing all this cutting & partial assembly! l keep mine in plastic project boxes ( Michael's), l use the 13x13 x3" ( aprox) , but use whatever size suits you. Fray check any really bad ones, but starching & little handling as others have mentioned works.Sometimes l keep sections of my partials on my big design wall.
Are you using good quality fabric? l seldom have that much trouble unless it's a lose weave, or if it's a poly/cotton blend.
