Wish I had known about the paper plate system back in 2002 when I made my husband a quilt using the “T” block (his name is Tom). Each block was a different color and a different background so I made piles of the pieces for each block and when chain stitching I used the top piece and then rotated the pile back to the top,of the line. Paper plates would have made my life so much easier. I’ll definitely remember to use this when I need to make different blocks with different colors. Thanks to all who mentioned this method.
