How do you store your strings?
I just ironed a ton of strings. Time for a string bling maybe. Anyhow, I have my own system of storing all the rest of the pieces like the squares, strips, bricks etc. I've been tossing strings in a bin and waving at them occasionally or diving in and sorting when I need some strings. However, after taking on the task of ironing and wanting to organize them I am drawing a blank as what to do with them. I've thought of rolling them, but not to thrilled with the idea. Any suggestions as to the taming of strings? Would love some ideas. Thanks my quilting friends.

I use mixed sizes of strings..I toss them in a cardboard box as I collect them while cutting other projects. I have never ironed them prior. I let them fall as they may when using them, I iron each after attaching it to prepare for the next one

When I actually iron my strips, I tend to leave them hanging on the backs of chairs or my Gold's Gym that I just had to have years ago. Makes a nice holder for quilts/blocks in progress. Or I'll fold them in a sort of half fold/half roll and place them in a shoe box.
