They are big enough to hold all the fabric (except backing & sometimes that too) for a complete lap project & the finished blocks. Great for travel because of the handles. The fabric & blocks do slide to the end if you hold by the handle. They, also, stack very nicely. I haven't tried the ones from Michael's or Hobby Lobby so can't comment on them. Wal Mart has some good ones, but most don't have handles, or are too deep. I have used some of the shallow ones for holding the project, but move to the JoAnn boxes when I start sewing.

The ArtBin Super Satchels are what I use for holding up to 12 inch blocks. I actually prefer them to the Iris brand, since they have a nice handle and better latches. I usually buy them at JoAnns when they have the 1/2 off storage sale. They also stack better than the Iris brand.
They have 3 depths: a really shallow one (Slim), the regular one (3 1/2"), and the "Double Deep" (6 1/2"). I use the regular one and the "Double Deep," especially love Double Deep for holding a whole project (blocks, backing, and pattern). |
These are the ones from Walmart I like:

I use these as storage bins for fabric, but they would work well for block storage too. Our local Walmart has them displayed with the other storage bins. |
I love the ones from Joann's. They stack, travel and are overall just great. I have them in lots of colors. Makes my sewing room colorful and sometimes I can even remember what color has which project! I think you will love them.

I purchased this set from Joann's with a 50% off coupon. And I have a few extra cases. I store my WIPS that are currently being worked in these. They hold pretty much a whole project. I love them. Definitely hold out for coupons.

Has anyone found flat boxes that hold our BOMs? The ones at Michaels are just a little too small!
I would like clear plastic, not too deep, at least 13" square. TY |
I also use the scrapbooking containers. LOVE THEM!!

There is no snooze button on a hungry cat!
Thanks for the laugh, Showmama! I have four and you are sooo right! They have no concept of "day off," either. |
Maybe this is what you want sure is cheaper than the others.http://www.joann.com/12x12-protect-n...ox/xprd881677/
