We love ice cream so I use the 1-gallon plastic boxes to store my squares in, they start with 2", 2 1/2'" and go up to 6 1/2" squares. I have 10 boxes that get filled up regularly, they get donated to a group of women who are learning how to quilt. I also use the squares when camping by making 16" squares with them. I have a hand-crank machine that I take with me.
