Do you also have a need to organize pieces while piecing? Say you have a bunch of 2 3/8" sqs and some 2 1/2" sqs or rectangles that are 3 5/7" X 3 7/8", or are doing several blocks and want to have all the pieces for one block together. Don't spend a bunch of money on trays!! These are from Marie Callender's Meat Lasagna which, luckily is absolutely delicious. My grandson and I share one every Thursday night. These are just the right size, have a lip for easy picking up or for sticking a label on (eg: an arrow to mark the long side of a rectangle) and they stack wonderfully. I've given about 2 doz to various crafting friends and they also swear by them!

FYI: this lasagna comes in 3 sizes so invite your friends!

Long live lasagna!

Great idea!!! :D:D:D

Thanks Kitsie, I guess we could use any frozen food container and how about the plastic containers when you buy lunch meat that has the lids with them? I think I'll reassign them for use in my quilt room. With the lids they're stackable :-)

Terryl, yes, anything would do. For my use I don't want lids while I'm piecing - just grab and sew! If I'm going to leave them till next day I stack them and put an empty on top.

As I told one other friend, its a matter of "ways and means"; if you don't have the "means" you find the "ways"!

What a great idea. And I get to eat lasagna too. I'm in heaven.

Great idea!! I make my own lasagna, haven't tried Marie Callender's yet!

Yay for repurposing something you would've just tossed anyway.

What a great idea! I always hate spending money on storage containers!

Interesting. Hubby yells at me for not finding uses for the containers like that. You know...I use to save all plastic containers....then you open the cabinet and they all hit ya over the head! So I quit for awhile. Guess I should begin again!

Lucky for your family! I think my husband does not know it can be made at home. :-P
