Default Fabric Storage Container

Before Christmas I purchased two of these containers to hold ornaments in from JoAnns's, each has three seperate tiers, but only ended up using one. Thinking I'd have to take the extra one to the basement it occured to me that with the cardboard dividers, it makes perfect storage for 2 1/2 and 3 inch squares of fabric. If I remove one divider I can get 4" and maybe 5" in also. My local store is sold out but I was able to order 2 additional ones and have them shipped to me. Now I can get rid (take to the basement) all the little storage containers that I have cut fabric squares in, and have less clutter. I'm thrilled....but then small accomplishments make me happy!

Good job at creating a new way to organize fabric. I love it when I get an idea for a different type of use for a product. Especially if it is quilting related.

I have a couple of them that I bought after Christmas years ago. I took all of the dividers out and use them for storing ongoing projects, such as BOM's. Or maybe a UFO.

This is such a great idea.
If you don't have access to these specific dividers, you can make your own out of cardboard, foamboard, wood...etc.
Drink dividers from the grocery store work too.

youtube has lots of good videos for making your own.
I like this one from Just Get It Done Quilts
