This is reason I bought project boxes. Usually used for scrapbooking. They're 14" x 14". I wait for them to go on sale. I have 8 right now. I put the pattern and pieces in these and the name of the pattern on the outside, labeled. They're 2 1/2" deep and I get the clear see through. I also save those silica packets from medicine bottles to help absorb any moisture. Usually Michaels has them on sale often for 3/$10.00. The only thing I don't put in the boxes is the batting but there is room for it. I just need to get more batting.

All I can think of is get a container that will hold your finished blocks. As you make the blocks put them in the container and don't touch them until you are ready to join them. I am careful to cut on the straight of grain, which will reduce fraying. Most of my fabrics are from quilt shops, but I also use some from JoAnns and WM. I'm curious to see what others say. I hate piecing with pinked fabrics, as I can never figure out my seam allowance.
