carrying your blocks with you when you travel or go out and want to use them. (like when waiting at a Dr office?)
I prefer something that would allow them to lay flat and not fall to the bottom of a bag/box (like when I use my art bin box). This was they won't get wrinkled. I saw a lady with one this weekend, that had a elastic strap to hold the blocks in place. (thoughtit was a great idea and then didn't even ask her about it! UGH! ) Any suggestions/ideas would be great. thanks. |
Zip-loc baggie - lol

I use a clipboard , not the weak clasp one, one that has a strong metal clip. It fits in a tote and holds a lot of blocks, even holds a small sewing bag.

Not for travel, but to keep qult blocks in before I sew them all together a quilt top, I use a set of stacking 12" square plastic boxes made for storing Christmas ornaments, that I got at a garage sale for $1
Each box is about 5" tall, and is the lid for the one underneath. The stack of 4 boxes has a lid with a handle in the top box. I put the blocks in one, and pieces for the other blocks in process in the one under it, so I can keep 2 projects all contained. Those 2 gallon ziplock Freezer bags work pretty well also. |
This is like the puzzle roll up mat.

I use christmas gift bags, they don't all lie flat, but for the most part they do. I have a book shelf full of bags and that's how I stop myself from starting new projects, no bag, no project!

I use a clean (never used) Pizza box. It allows you to lay your blocks flat in it and when the lid is up...I use that for a mini design wall. When the top is closed it is my mini desk top to work on. Since it is just a Pizza box, I add a loop of elastic through the cardboard and a button(big hole to put elastic through) for a closure. I just push the elastic through holes that I made and tied a big knot on the ends to keep them from pulling through. You can add other loops of elstic for whatever tools you want to fasten in.

Ditto the new Pizza box

I use the pizza box as well. But I do add elastic to the botton [through the hole that are already in the box] to keep the blocks flat.
