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.

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

Look at the flat scrapbooking boxes at joanns. they are about 13" square and about 4" deep. I bought several last year when they were 50% off. I store my project's blocks in them.
