Dorothy, I am like that. I moved some stuff around and found washed and pressed yardage that I bought at a yard sale years ago, enough for at least 3 backs!

That is a great idea.

My DS drinks this & I'll have to ask her to save her tins for me! Thanks for the great tip!!!

OH, how cleaver! Not being able to see inside is not problem. Cover each tin with a different color paper. Red for red squares, blue, green, etc.

I do this too, but use the powdered chocolate milk mix (yellow or brown depending on the brand) instead--they are a bigger and fit like books on a bookshelf. I put sticky label on narrow end the size. Not only do I use these for squares, but for narrow strips (3/4" to 1 1/2) and triangles and HST's. First place I go to when making a small quilt. ;-)

You rock, Jennie! How's that challenging card-trick quilt coming along that you did for the tutorial? I've seen one like that but it is a 6 or 8 pointed star type pattern!
