I buy the beautiful decorative boxes at Tuesday Morning store to hold UFO and blocks. I get the ones that are hinged and have a handle. They are so unique and make my sewing room look pretty even when it's a mess in there. I find all sizes there.

Call me cheap, but I haven't found a good reason to spend that kind of money. I'm still using pizza boxes - LOL!

I get new pizza boxes for large sizes.

I'll have to check at JoAnn's. The ones I bought there were 12 x 12. I would like to have some that would hold a little larger block.

What about asking your local pizza shop if you can buy the largest size pizza box for storage. I believe they usually will give them to you. I've also asked at my local grocery store in the fish dept. if I could have the plastic boxes they ship the fish in. I just run them through the dishwasher and no odor at all and I love how easily they stack.

my quilting group uses pizza boxes....

we use the med, perfect fit.

why don't you use clean pizza boxes. I got mine in pizza hut for 25 cents each. they are new ones.

I've used the ones from Joann's. Blocks that are 12 x 12 or so fit very nicely. There is a handle and 2 snap type closures. My LQS had them, but got them at Joann's. In my area, selling for 19.99. But used coupon for 50% off.
I like them very much for storing blocks of specific quilts.

the pizza boxes from Safeway are great...the pizza is sealed inside plastic so that the box itself, is totally clean.... i have stacks and stacks as I use them for ongoing projects (usually one for finished blocks and one for a stack of cut pcs ready to be sewn together (the best thing about this is when working on a scrap look, i spread out pages from a kid's construction paper pad.... then just 'deal' the different colors onto each page as you decide on which goes with what.... now pick up the pages and stack into a pizza box and each is ready to be sewn as you get to it... all sorted and matched or not-matched acoording to your desire).... but my fave is that when my scraps are less than 1/4 yd, i cut all into 2.5 strips and then sort into the pizza box for that color. I have at least 8 or 10 color-marked boxes. They hold much more than you would think and then when you're in the mood to do some donor blocks or string piecing, just pick the couple of colors you feel like working with and go.....

If you dont mind if the box does not look pretty, I have found that pizza boxes work great. Pizza hut will let you have new boxes for a quarter or so.

These are the exact same boxes I got at Michaels for $4.98 on sale. Had clear as well as colors. They are perf. for what you're describing. That's what I use them for.

Here is a site that may have the size you are looking for.......Quiltingwarehouse.com........They have many plastic storage boxes for quilters. Scroll down the menu on the left to STORAGE AND ORGANIZERS l....Good luck I hope this helps

hobby lobby has some great ones in the scrap book dept. same ones at joanns twice as much. i paid about $8 using their 40% off coupon. just download the coupon.

If you want a inexpensive way to store blocks go to your local pizzeria. The pizza boxes are perfect. They will usually sell the new ones to you for 50 cents to a dollar. You can write on them, stack them high. I have several. In fact, our one quilting store sells them for a dollar. The squares are a perfect fit.

I use the ArtBin boxes with handles and only purchase when I have a 50% off coupon from JoAnn's or they have them on for 50% off. I also have some pizza boxes as years ago the guild I belonged to was able to get them for an extremely great price and sell them to members. They work great for finished blocks and can be stacked.

Thank you so much for this information. I am a NEW quilter and have myself involved in 3 quilts, classes I have taken that I know have to assemble. Trying to figure how to keep all of this separate and "clean". Will be going to Joanns with my 50% coupon this wek! Love all the information I get from all you experienced ladies. Thanks again.

I just saw them at Costco. a bundle of 4 or 5, can't remember the count but they were only 19.99. They were assorted colors.

I love new pizza boxes...plenty of room and they are free for the asking.

These may be what I have, about 6 or so in a stand? I have 2, both 50% off at JoAnn's a few years ago.

i use pizza boxes. The price is right!

I actually bought 3 of these for my scrapbook stuff. I love love love them. Plus the others from Joanns.

I love pizza boxes. I buy them from our local pizza parlor for 50 cents each. I paint the tops with flowers, etc. and label the ends so that when stacked I can tell at a glance what's inside. I also bought some snap together plastic boxes from Wal Mart in the fishing section. Pizza boxes also make good memory boxes to store drawings from children/grands.

Thanks for sharing! I've been looking for that size as well!

Who'd a thunk - pizza boxes - what a super idea! Thanks for sharing. Love this board.

Like some of the others, I am cheap and use the clean pizza boxes and label the outside with a stick on label. They fit under my bed very nicely since I don't have a sewing room. I get them from my local Casey's store and so far they have been free of charge, but I would gladly pay the twenty five or fifty cents as well. I have used them for the cut blocks, quilt blocks and partially finished quilt blocks. There is no end of uses one can use them for. I have even put fat quarters in one until I got a three drawer stand on sale at Wally World. I also use the little plastic boxes mushrooms, etc., come in. Wash them up and keep them on the table for scraps when I am sewing and a jillion other uses from time to time. Have even put the smaller cut quilt squares in them to store as well until I pull them out and use them in something. My two cents for the day.

very good idea

Joan fabrics has two kinds -- look in the area where the plastic containers are and also the scrap booking dept.

I went to the local pizza place (family owned and operated) to see if they would sell me a few large pizza boxes. The owner would not let me pay for six large boxes. It was his way of thanking me for eating many meals at his Italian Resturant. I was so thrilled!! The large are about 16X16X2 which is an average block size and they stack so neatly. Mary

I have the ones from Joanne's, they were on sale for 6.99 sometime last year.

There are lots of options that makes you feel free to buy flat boxes. I can suggest that just go through any search engine and you can find lots of answers regarding your query. Hope I will help it out to get relief from your confusion.
